Adobe has finally announced the release of their updated and re-branded version of their Creative Suite line of products. Now go buy that new MacBook Pro you’ve been putting off, because the whole suite runs natively on Intel-based Macs, unlike it’s predecessors. This from Adobe’s website:
The Adobe® Creative® Suite 3 family offers you choice — in the combination of creative tools you master, the design disciplines you explore, and the richness and scope of content you create. This revolutionary new release includes six editions, each combining tightly integrated, industry-leading components that enable you to handle virtually any creative task.
Together these six editions of Creative Suite 3 address virtually every creative discipline and empower you to work more efficiently with your creative team; collaborate more closely with developers to produce engaging experiences; and serve your clients, your business, and your creative vision more easily and effectively than ever before.

Subterranean Blog, those somewhat lovable ‘MTV in an indie-blog disguise’ cats, have posted a video of some live Shins material. I didn’t notice at first, but the video is them playing inside the Crystal Ballroom to a crowd of zero, during the day. Perhaps sound checking before their show here? Or maybe just getting some footage for the sake of having some video to toss around. What do you think? Either way, we’re damn lucky to have some of the world’s greatest bands living here in our big little city. Looks like the video footage for A Comet Appears is at the Crystal as well, except at night with all the fancy lights going, yet still without an audience. I’d post the videos here, but since they are MTV, they have some sort of confounded, evil, embedded player that I don’t really care to try to steal from. Call me crazy but I just hate getting sued. Ruins my day, every time. Did anyone here in Portland or anywhere else around the world get the chance to see them? Here tickets sold out at an incredible rate, and scalpers were selling them for as much as 75 bucks a pop.
