A lot of people turned out for the CityKitties fundraiser at Studio 34. I hope we raised a lot of money for CityKitties. I know that I bought some of the art…. Including the hotly contested three-fish painting, which I paid a premium for, and which I will sell to Karen H for a little less than I paid for it, the balance going as an additional donation to City Kitties. So all was well.

The fabulous Nicki Jaine sang German drinking songs while the attendees milled around, ooh-ing and aah-ing at the 100+ donated works of art while partaking of lots of generously donated wine and goodies. I had about four glasses of wine over the course of the evening, but I did not eat very much, combined with heat - I felt it when I walked home around midnight.

In other news, I got my tickets to Stockholm. I’m still looking for a London flat.

In lieu of a real blog post, here’s a link for you to a talk I had with Piers Fawkes at PSFK the other day about outside.in and the way in which the news media is evolving. If you’re into that kind of thing.

Unlimited World Plan, which is only $9.95 a month. If you sign up before June 1, they knock off 20 or 30 percent, so it’s really like $5 or $6 a month. You get a Skype Out number, which is local, and you can call it from your cell or land line. You can also save 6 numbers in speed dial mode or press 2 for the other option to call even long distance in the US. I just set one up for my mom, who frequently calls Korea and Canada, and she was pretty surprised at how good the reception was, which is another plus when you call from your land line versus the mobile phone.

I originally bought the student versions of Creative Suite 1, Flash MX and Dreamweaver MX in 2004, and haven’t upgraded since because of it’s hefty cost of $1799.00. But recently a friend told me about an upgrade that is affordable ~$500.00. I was a bit skeptical because since 2004, Adobe merged with Macromedia, and back in 2004, there was a caveat: you can NOT upgrade student versions. When I called Adobe, there was absolutely no hassle, and they didn’t care if I had Macromedia software, they were able to upgrade my student version of Creative Suite 1 (skipped version 2) to a professional 3 (non-student version) for only $599.00. With tax and shipping, the total cost is $655.62. If you want to only upgrade to Web Premium, you can, and I think it’s a bit cheaper.

This promotion is to deter people from downloading software from net. Anyway you can do it online or you can call.
