I just finished watching the new Abode Creative Suite launch event. Outlining the best new features in most of the CS4 products, as usual, I’m continually amazed. Who knew so much could be introduced that actually makes the hefty upgrade price tag worthwhile?

After lots of pain and slowness attempting to configure my website and blog at GoDaddy hosting, I’ve since switched my domains and hosting to Dreamhost. What a great change this is!
I went from my Wordpress blog loading in 30-50 seconds on GoDaddy (I’m not the only one, see this search for a widespread problem) to the same Wordpress setup loading in 1-2 seconds. Not only that, but Dreamhost’s control panel is so easy to use, it kills me to think I was suffering with GoDaddy so long.

For some reason, I really enjoyed Wacom’s corporate branding animation, which intrigued me on the way to check out their tablets. Watch it (and play with it) with the caption/description lower bar on.
It’s so refreshing! Especially compared to brands that have a decade-old website to prove they still exist. Nothing says “legitimate” nowadays but an updated web presence, which we know younger generations use to verify a brand’s image.
Or perhaps I’m a sucker for simplicity and a strong message, and I also enjoy a walk through a forest every once in awhile.
