≪ Previous: Get Your Screenshots Ready as the July Desktop Thread is Up!

As you all know, Rainmeter is a very popular customization program. Many of the skins can record your notes, to-do lists, launch and control your fave apps… which can be arranged to your liking.

So… just thought I’d mention seeing the update/release notice on Neowin.net .

My Adobe Creative Cloud Experiment

≪ Previous: Monday Skin Picks!

We’ve written about how Adobe has introduced the Creative Cloud which basically for a nominal monthly fee lets you download and use just about every Adobe creative application as long as your subscription is active. There’s both pros and cons to this, but being that I can get the first year for just $30/month, I decided to try it out and see if going the way of the cloud is reasonable.

I’ll be posting on experiences throughout the year.

The integration of multi-touch capabilities directly on the Cintiq screen, along with Wacom's most advanced pen technology, give you a truly "hands-on" creative experience as you work digitally.”
