Last night, while toying with some more interesting navigation for the photo archives, I finally got around to submitting a photo to the Mirror Project. It was a shot I took in Ellicott City last year, actually by accident, in the windshield of a Model T Ford.

Album of the day: The eponymous first album by the B-52’s.

ThinkSecret has a bit of information which illustrates a very good point. In an article on the upcoming Illustrator 11, Adobe concedes that most owners of versions 9 and 10 still use version 8 because it’s faster. I agree, and I’m one of these owners. At the release of 9, the interface, upgrades, and modifications to the application began to drag down an otherwise powerful tool to the point where I ditched for 8 it two weeks after installing it. For the same reasons that I still use older versions of MS applications (I have a copy of Word 4 for the Mac that I use on a Powerbook 100, and it does fine), I avoid some newer versions of popular software, because the tradeoffs can be too great. I hope Adobe, and other vendors, learn this lesson. (PS. It’s about time they rolled the poor orphan Streamline into Illustrator. The path was clear six years ago. Let’s hope they’ve refined the recognition sensitivity.)
