New Software Stuff: October 2008 Archives

Man, what a week. It started off with my wife and kids getting t-boned in an intersection at home. View some photos of the carnage. I was in Baltimore, speaking at the PSDA Print Conference, the day before Graph.

Day one of Graph, I spoke on Illustrator CS4, 3D Design and Visualization with Illustrator and Esko Studio, and Variable Data Solutions. That night, I went to the Xerox PIXI awards to accept an honorable mention for our communiPix product, which beat out tons of much larger companies with much more expensive equipment. Score one for the little guys!

Day Two was pretty uneventful, with me picking up the PDF Print Engine talk in the afternoon.

Day three, I was sick as a dog, but did the talks anyway.

Day 4, I got a chance to take a brief tour of the show. Man, there are a lot of nifty new things out there, from bindery to finishing to printing. It makes me wish I had a ton of money so I could finance a whole new shop, but with credit and business capital the way it is, that's not likely to happen. We'll just have to make ComuniPix a hot item in 2009!
I've been using CS4 now for a couple of months, and it really makes me happy to be in the graphics business. Flash alone is worth the money, but to get InDesign and the rest of the package is just icing on the cake. 

I'll write more in support of this soon, when I get off the promo tour.
