Adobe AIR released!

For the most part, I've tried to steer away from topics on this blog that related to my day job. The truth is, I require like that level of separation between work and hobby. However, today marks an important milestone on a project I've been working on: Adobe AIR 1.0 is now available for download. It's been the most challenging project I've ever worked on, but it's been an incredible experience working with such a talented, passionate group of people working on it.

New book "Subject to Change" soon to be released by Adaptive Path team

I just noticed that several members of the Adaptive Path team including Brandon Schauer, Todd Wilkens, David Verba, and Peter Merholz are about to release a new book titled Subject to Change: creating great products and services for an uncertain world. It's been quite awhile since I've picked up an enticing book on customers/design/product development and so I'm eagerly anticipating its arrival. The team at Adaptive Path always seem way ahead of the curve when it comes to identifying patterns in product design. I'll share my thoughts on the book once it arrives from Amazon. The last book I read in this general category was Scott Berkun's The Myths of Innovation, a marvelous exploration around the history of innovation that I'd encourage any engineer or designer to read.

Last year I had the great pleasure of attending Adaptive Path's MX Conference in San Francisco. They are offering this event again this year and would encourage you to explore the event site to see if it might be of interest to you. It was the source of tremendous inspiration for me last year between the various sessions and networking with other attendees.
