I don’t have a cure for the H1N1 virus, but good links are good medicine for whatever ails ya. Unless you’re ailed by attention deficit disorder. In which case, they’re poison. Anyhoo…
Thus far, I’ve been able to avoid the Swine flu, but I think I’m coming down with a case of the Whine flu. Symptoms: [...]

Y’arr, mateys. Your captain has sworn off rum in favor of GoogleJuice, so this week’s meme be pirates. Has anybody seen a stray parrot, answers to the name of “Preflight”?
By the way, according to the bean counters, InDesign CS4’s Live Preflight is worth more than a chest of Spanish doubloons. Well, OK, about $5 a [...]

Happy Birthday, Publicious!
One year ago today, I published my first Publicious post. Here we are 150 posts later! This has been incredibly fun, rewarding, and tiring. In honor of the occasion, all of today’s links are staying “in house.” Sort of a Greatest Hits thing. Without further ado, here are the 10 most popular Publicious [...]

This post really is this week’s “Lunchtime Links,” but after Will Smith’s reference to “Boom Goes the Dynamite” on the Oscars, I just can’t help myself. It beyond-cracks me up. I say it and I can’t stop giggling. It’s one of those things that somehow bypasses my consciousness and links directly to the spastic laughter [...]

In anticipation of the O’Reilly Tools of Change Conference, today’s menu of lunch links has a mostly “changey” flavor. As opposed to my usual links, which often taste like chicken.
iPublishCentral is a solution by Impelsys that allows Publishers to upload PDFs and build marketing and distribution tools around them. Everything from Flash-enabled micro widgets to [...]

Peoples, peoples, peoples, if you are the least bit interested seeing what will drive publishing workflows in the very near future, run, don’t walk your mouse over to the Adobe Labs and check out everything you can on Text Layout Framework.

Very nice to read over my morning coffee that Adobe has made good on their intentions to revise the Photoshop Express Terms of Service to make them a lot less evil. In my first look at Photoshop Express, I was pretty down on Adobe for writing themselves ownership of your content throught the Universe. I [...]

Got my first hits from Technorati this weekend. Followed them back just to see what I look like from there. It is strange to see one’s words next to a flashing CapitalOne credit card ad, but such is life. Technorati also tells you where you rank in terms of popularity of the blogs it lists. [...]

The plan for this evening was to get the kids to bed, pour myself a tasty beverage and check out Photoshop Express. I intended to sign up, upload some pics and report back what I found out.
I am a tad cyncial about some of the “free” stuff companies offer online. So far, I love WordPress, [...]
