Observations on Technology from an Aging Geek
I’m so pumped! I just got my registration complete for cf.Objective() in St. Paul, MN May 2-4. I also registered for the 2-day pre-conference workshop.

After an excrutiatingly long wait, I can finally now call myself an Adobe Certified Instructor. In July I took and passed the Adobe Certified Instructor stand-up exam for LiveCycle 8.0 ES. For a number of reasons, just this weekend I finally got the certificates in the mail to officially christen me as an ACI on … Read more
