Back at the Mothership
It's just like going back to high school.
Well, sort of. Today I drove down to Adobe HQ in San Jose (above), the office that I worked out of until January when the powers that be were kind enough to let me move up to the Adobe San Francisco (formerly Macromedia) office, which is just a 5 minute bike ride from my house, as opposed to a 1-hour drive or train ride (notice the above photo taken through my windshield). Some run-on sentence there, eh?
One of the cool things about Adobe HQ is that there are no cubicles -- everybody gets their own office. Adobe SF is the complete opposite -- very open and as a result a bit more social. Both offices are great. Walking the halls in San Jose today, I ran into several colleagues, and got some skinny on some of the new stuff we're cooking up for the next release. Sorry I can't tell you about it, because if I did"I'd Have To Kill You" (cue canned laughter & comments like "oh, I never heard that one before!"). That's one of the cool things at HQ (death threats aside) it's the epicenter of all things Adobe.
I'll be driving back down there on Friday for a very special 5-minute meeting (you got that right, 2 hours of road time for 5 minutes of meeting). Actually, the meeting is much longer but my presentation is 5 minutes. Sorry I can't tell you about it (again with the "I'd have to kill you -- har har-- good one" bit), but it's gonna be way worth it.
On another note, the Brazil Production Studio Launch Seminar is confirmed for Monday, April 3 in Sao Paulo. I will most definitely be there (and just when I thought it was safe to be back home in SF).

So I cant even offer you a donut (you cant have one with sprinkles i just ate the last one) to find out any more information?
Looks like a nice building to work in but people say dont judge a book like its cover ;)
And is Park a name of a street or do they have Parking spots under traffic lights in the US? :D (Im in London btw)

I thought the Seattle office was the epicenter of all things Adobe ;-) (or maybe Fremont is just the center of the universe)?
