Adobe CS4 is hot sweaty sex. I’m excited. Check out the demo video here.

So I’ve built a monster. Literally. I’ve been working on this project for awhile to improve communication and news communication at work. So they’ve approved my project to put in place 10 flat screen TVs at work, with custom built Quartz Composer applications that will automagically generate news content from out internal intranet site. And it’s all built on OS X. The were using this hideous Power Point presentation (lots of 3D text, ugly colors, stupid Video Toaster transition wipes, totally unreadable). Now it’s gonna be this super hot networked display that once it’s up never has to be updated, can be controlled remotely from an iPhone/iPod Touch, can display RSS, images, movies, even embedded webpages with flash. I can even have it hook directly into the OS, run scripting (Javascript), pull information from other hardware, or even interact with a physical environment via an Arduino or video camera (using OpenCV, an opensource computer vision library). The best part? It won’t cost them a dime, all of the hardware is already there.

I think I just created Skynet.

I also think I just tinkled a little.

Oh yeah, Showcase is getting reincarnated too. Fancy that?! And I’m not alone on it this time, they came to me.
