A Merger that Should Not Be! 04/18/05
I just read in today's San Francisco Chronicle that Adobe is purchasing Macromedia for a huge stock swap. Adobe wants Macromedia to expand their market share into cell phones among other things. If you hear a loud wailing coming from the Bay Area — that's me. While Adobe is the leader in image creation and manipulation software and their PDF standard can't be beat, their ventures into web design software (GoLive) leave much to be desired. Macromedia has finally gotten Dreamweaver tuned to being a very decent (not perfect but still the best WYSIWYG editor out there) web design and programming tool. I am having nightmarish visions of what Adobe is going to do the Macromedia suite to make it fall more in line with the Adobe products. Eeeek!

More Coloring Fun:
Sean last night wanted to color again while Ian barbecued. So I got out the crayons and a coloring book I had unpacked last week. He and I spent an hour coloring in a Mickey Mouse coloring book. I think we got through 3/4 of the book! Next time I go to Walgreen's I'll have to buy another coloring book.
