Asus Eee PC pseudo-review
The Computer There is enough speed here to do anything that I would want to do on a day-to-day simple productivity computer. There is no more wait launching applications like Firefox and Thunderbird than there is on a full-size computer. It plays back video and display flash-based video on websites clearly and smoothly. The Software The Eee PC features a perfect set of pre-installed applications including Firefox, Thunderbird, OpenOffice, Skype and Pidgin.

I can't believe the number of leaves that we have had at the new place. Liam think they are great. He sat still here while I just raked at him.

Website brainstorming with post-it notes
MAX - Assessed
This will be my last post specifically about the Adobe MAX conference. I promise. This year’s conference was, in my opinion, the best that Adobe/Macromedia/Allaire has ever put on. The developers that were with me seemed to be pretty satisfied with the technical content, and I was more than pleased with the creative content. I felt that the conference ran smoothly. The food was not great, but there wasn’t anything to complain about.
MAX Day Three
Responsible Web Design with Dreamweaver CS3 I took notes during this and am going to have edit this when I find them, but this was an excellent session given by the product manager for Dreamweaver that covered good web design practices in general. Designing the Obvious One of the great things about the MAX conference is that you get a large number of book authors and world-class designers. Robert Hoekman, author of “Designing the Obvious” led this presentation.
MAX Day Two
Rapid Prototyping in Fireworks This is one of the few sessions that I ended up attending that taught or demonstrated how to do something. One of the new features in Fireworks CS3 is the ability to create an entire prototype of a website as images. Fireworks, besides layers now has what it calls “pages” which can really act like web pages. One can then select areas of a page that act as buttons and link them to different pages within the project.

Monday in Review
Here’s a look at my day yesterday and some thoughts Opening General Session Kevin Lynch demonstrated a lot of fantastic AIR apps. Some of them include a twitter client, an instant messenger, ebay, paypal, salesforce.com and a desktop client for Google analytics (which I don’t think was from Google). Ben Forta demonstrated a technology makeover of the United Way site in which they did some things to improve it with ColdFusion 8.

Business Card Samples
I’ve always wanted to get better at creating a portfolio of good designs that I find. A friend that I used to work with had a file cabinet full of magazine clippings and other things that that they had stored away for inspiration. This was a great resource to spread out on the floor when getting started on a new project. If you are looking for some inspiration, here is a page of business card examples.
