And I am going to do it. Please stay tuned! http://creativescripting.net/blog/2009/04/back-to-that-new-contact-sheet-version/ Yesterday I drove in to San Jose for my Adobe new employee orientation. What a great experience (aside from leaving at 4:40 AM in a vain attempt to beat the traffic). The experience was great. The orientation meeting pretty much kept to what we needed to know on day 1, ... http://creativescripting.net/blog/2009/03/first-day-as-an-adobe-employee/ After some 6 years of contracting on and off with Adobe Systems, I have just accepted an offer for a full time engineering position with them.
