My reign as MAX has definitely ended... I was not asked to be a speaker at MAX this year. I'm not sure yet if I'll even attend. (I'll post again if I am going.) Funny thing happened though a couple days ago. Telling the story to a friend made me think that I ought to share the story on my blog... A lady called, gave her name and said she's with Adobe and wanted to invite me to MAX. So I...

If you haven't made the switch from Freehand to Illustrator yet because you've been putting off learning a different application, there's help. Today lynda.com released Migrating from Freehand to Illustrator . There are a few free movies you can check out, but to get them all you'll need to subscribe to the lynda.com Online Training Library™ because this title is an exclusive; there won't be a CD.

I truly appreciate it and I'm sorry for not responding sooner! To those of you who didn't get a response, don't expect one. You were either spamming or trying to get away with looking like you're friendly and sneaking in a...

On Monday, Gaetano met five of the six kids that live across the street from our new house and one of them came by to see if Gaetano could play the very next day. In his little hand was a tiny brown frog! The neighbors told us that they often have deer in their front yard chewing on plants. Wow! Living in Cedar...

Yesterday we left CA at about 4pm and made it all the way to Tuscon, Arizona... Today, I'm not sure yet how far we'll make it but we'll definitely be in El PasoTexas by this afternoon since that's only a five hour drive. From El Paso to Austin is about a ten hour drive, so we may stop for the night somewhere along the way. So far, so good... All is going well and Gaetano is enjoying the ride...

I don't know the details, but I heard a little while ago that Bob, my former boss when I worked as an assistant manager at California Grill in Whittier, passed away. He was the owner of the restaurant and my mom's boss for about 10 years, a family friend... The article I read at the Whittier Daily News describes it as an act of jealousy by a man 87 years old. It breaks my heart; there's nothing...
