3 Stooges

Ugh, I got 3 huge zits on my face this week that came out of nowhere. Maybe my lack of sleep and bad diet this week caused it. Maybe they're not to noticable to everyone else, but they certainly feel like 3 new heads to me. I've taken to naming them the 3 Stooges. I bought this fancy high-tech device called Zeno which I heard was some miracle device to control acne. Maybe it can zap Larry Moe and Curly away. Let me see if it will work. Until then...don't look at me I'm hideous!!

At the very least I hope it all clears up before the wedding. If not it will be immortalized on all my wedding photos. Hey, at least I got Photoshop!

It's getting close to my wedding. Everyone's always asking, "Are you ready?", or saying "tick tock tick tock". You know what? I'm really not sweating that part. At least I'm not nervous yet. The really huge thing I'm most excited about is seeing my fiancee again. It's been 5 long months. /sigh.

OK, some small obligatory design-related topic. I've been using all the new CS3 Adobe products now for about a couple weeks. I'd say it's worth the upgrade if you're at all familiar with these programs.

Photoshop CS3 has some nice new features I'm making good use of so far. The ability to make selections are MUCH easier and faster now. That alone might be worth the price of admission I think. I haven't made much use of the smart filters yet which was supposed to be the big thing. Maybe I'll get into using that more along the line. The bridge is much faster and much more powerful.

I was fearful that Adobe would wreck Dreamweaver after they bought it from Macromedia. They had their GoLive program so I figured it would be a strategic move to buy out their competitor and just retire it. BEHOLD! Dreamweaver CS3 is back and everything is still there. Now it works and operates more seamlessly with the Adobe products and so far little details have made it an instant favorite for me. Just in handling CSS alone it's much more flexible then the Studio 8 version that preceded it. Once again, it's a huge time-saver.

I should invest in Adobe. They have yet to do anything wrong in my eyes.
