I just go back from MAX, and was blown away by the quality work going on all around, both outside and inside the company. Finally getting to sit down with the Buzzword folks was a huge highlight, as was seeing Fang's disembodied head on a 50 foot screen.

It was also a privilege to be allowed on stage for the day 2 keynote. Is there any doubt that Mr Ted Patrick is some kind of super-being? No? Good, there shouldn't be. Watching the keynote come together for 4 days backstage (from saturday morning to tueday night) was a very surreal experience; the crew (dozens and dozens of people, from Makeup to sound to lighting to IT to catering to security to the guys in the cherry-picker adjusting the screens) really deserve high praise for keeping everything running as well as it did.

So, it seems like people are interested in what we're up to - folks were sitting on the floor in our session later that day; thanks to everyone who came out. Now that I'm allowed to talk about the CoCoMo project (I'm really not sure at what point we started InTerCappIng the name, but.. too late now?), I think I will.

But first, a taste of what some others (with, possibly, more influence than I) are saying about the project, as well as other new Adobe initiatives :

Stay tuned... More to come.
