I just bumped into the Fireworks Product Manager. Yes, the Fireworks that we design-challenged-coders love so much has a Product Manager, and she told me that Fireworks 9 is in beta, and that you can sign up for the beta now.

Oh, and to all of you chicken little doomsayers, phhhbbttthhh!

I am in Hall D of The Venetian going over tomorrow's opening keynote content. Opening rehearsals are going on behind me, and this opening will blow you away. Remember the laser light show in 2000? This tops it! The opening is being kept top-secret, I absolutely can't share any details. Sorry. ;-) The keynote starts at 8:30, be there earlier for the best seats! Trust me on this one, DON'T SHOW UP LATE!

In what seems to be an annual ritual, my flight to Las Vegas was delayed and delayed and then delayed again. And then when we landed we were delayed and delayed waiting for a gate.

But I am here, finally. Now where are folks hanging out?
