It seems that Adobe is currently quite busy coming up with new useful technology and services. The first one is Share which is currently in Beta on Labs. Share is a service for publishing and sharing documents from anywhere and with whoever you choose. The intersteing thing I see for me is that you could …
My last post described the process of how I chose a mind mapping application. The introduction to that post briefly described why I thought it could be a valuable tool for idea generation and data organization and explained that I would use it as a project planning and management tool for my Web design and development projects. …
In the last few weeks I have been researching and evaluating Mind Mapping software to aid me in the early planning stages as well as structuring of Web site design and re-design projects. I think the concept of Mind Mapping offers a very efficient manner of gathering large amounts of data or ideas quickly then …
About two weeks ago, Jeremy Shulz published an "interesting" review of Fireworks on Designorati. I put "interesting" in quotes because I strongly disagree with many of his points… starting with the title of his review: "Fireworks CS3 Is Looking For its Niche". I suppose I shouldn’t be but I’m always surprised when poeople who should know better …

The existing Fireworks Developer Center will remain but will now focus on developer issues (like programming extensions) while design related Fireworks content (articles, tutorials) will be published in the …
Yes, I know that I’m repeating myself and I know that this is obvious to most of you. But apparently it’s not obvious to many and I think it’s worth repeating. Recently I started to see a lot of the misconceptions about Fireworks I have been talking about here and which prompted me to write this …
Now that my two articles are published on the Adobe.com site (well actually, one article and one tutorial), I am thinking of what kind of tutorial or article I’ll write next. The first and easiest thing I’d like to do is write a second part to my Removing Image Backgrounds With Fireworks 8 tutorial in …
Good news! My second article "Why Choose Fireworks?" has just been published on Adobe’s Developer Center. Like for my tutorial that was published earlier this year, working with Stefan Gruenwedel from Adobe has made the article better and I want to take this opportunity to thank him publicly. I have had a crazy hectic year …
