Well today, designers and programmers around can enjoy something special very soon. Adobe CS4. The next version of the Creative Suite includes a much more unified interface and layout system. The product is set to be released in October. Will you be upgrading?
One of the most interesting things is in Photoshop, it will be using the graphics card for the first time. Ohhh the possibilities. Dreamweaver has many CSS helpers added among hundreds of other additions, tweaks and improvements. Flash has an improved animation work flow and also support for XML, COOL.
So. Will you be upgrading? I will.

I was one of the lucky ones that got their hands on a Streamy invite from the great people over at Mashable. I have been messing around and exploring Stremy now since yesterday and now im willing to share what I think about it.
My first opinions of Streamy is that it looks beautiful, the use of AJAX in this is used very well. From how you navigate between pages, to switching views of your rss feed. Streamy is a very customizable and shareable environment. For example you can have your feeds display one per line, in a two per row pattern, or how ever you like it. The help menus are very helpful and designed nicely to move to the corresponding areas where you should be looking to do things.
The social aspect of Streamy is very promising, you can comment, add friends, share stories ith a simple drag and drop, copy and paste to save or send to a friend. The sign up process was very simple and there was no confusion on how to do what I wanted to do. Built right into the environment is an IM client where you can talk and share stories, RSS feeds and more. Anothe rcool aspect of it is there are audio alerts for certain things. Simply click on the speaker icon at the top to disable sounds.
One of the first things that came to mind when looking and exploring was, there are no advertisements at all. Whether it stays like this or not, its up to them but its cool for now. The text is very easy to read and you can change themes. The colors and loading graphic is very
I have been a huge fan of rss and recently switched over to google reader. Being such a fan of Google, I literally use 90% of their products from GMail to Google Earth to AdSense etc. but I do have to say, I have no interest in Google reader anymore. Streamy totally replaces that now and as much as I love Digg,…it will keep me away from Digg a bit also,..so maybe this product is really worth its hype in a sense that could really be a Digg killer.
Now For the Pictures!
Here is a Top 10 list of great conferences, seminars, resources and award’s for all types of Media Design and Technology. Winning an award for your piece of work looks so great on a resume. I attended FlashForward NY in 05 and it was awesome. The best flash technology along with keynote speakers from around the world. It was great.
Some of these conferences might have a deadline so if you are interested, get on it. I know some end within days and I do know one or 2 half already passed, but dont worry, 99% of these are annual or bi-annual events! Some events cost money, some dont. Hope you like them.
