Creative Suite Tip & Tricks - Collected

I mentioned PixelGroovy the other day for being a great digg-like site with all sorts of designer focused tips. But before I found that site, I was using Google Notebook to quickly and easily assemble any Creative Suite tips Creative Suite Tips I came across on the internet. I've mostly just taken down notes for things of interest to me, and since I work mostly in Indesign thats where most of the tips are focused. One can never seem to get enough tips and tricks when it comes to this stuff.

Craptastic

This is just great.  The one game I ever play, Rise of Nations, won't load anymore and I think a few recent software updates might have something to do with it.  Maybe I will look into getting Civ IV - but then again do I want to go down that road again.

quikmaps.com

There is a new Google Maps mashup on the street, and this is one 'cool' kid.' Next time you need to give someone directions, etc - just send them a quikmaps map with your directions and notes.

I just love all this new web 2.0 stuff that has been coming out lately, I just want to use it all.

Verizon Wireless finds soul, wants to prorate early termination fees - Engadget

It seems Verizon is planning to prorate early termination fees for its customers. Since I'm not a Verizon customer, I'm seriously hoping this gets approved and spreads through the carriers quick fast and in a hurry. Its no fun paying those fees!!

Pixel Groovy

If you're familiar with Digg.com and you do any kind of design stuff, ie web, page, graphics, etc, you are going to like Pixel Groovy. Same digg kind of layout, but its all on articles, and tutorials for designers of all sorts. Its still pretty new and fresh, but it seems to be pretty darn active so it won't take long for its library or tips to be built up.

Parallels Desktop for Mac

Not that I would, but this is pretty darn sweet. One computer, many OSes.
