Adobe Indesign

Adobe Indesign is a popular Desktop Publishing software. Its the number one desktop publishing application used to create all sorts of documents.

Adobe PageMaker was my favorite application and for years used it to create all sorts of documents. I upgraded to Indesign when it first was offered by Adobe and found it to be a really useful application. I use it to create all my travel books when I go on vacation.

A few years ago I found this helpful Tips and Tricks for Indesign 2.0. I don't know where I got it from, but the information is very useful and is an excellent handy reference guide. Many of the tips still apply for Indesign CS2.

Pizza Market

In Newtonville, Massachusetts there's several really good pizza restaurants and they are worth the visit. Our favorite is Flat Bread Pizza from Sweet Tomato.

However, sometime we just want a regular pizza with nothing fancy. We have really enjoyed Pizza Market, they have a great selection and the food is awesome. We highly recommend you check out this little Pizza place in Newtonville.

Download the Take-Out menu from Pizza Market and enjoy the local flavor of Newton Pizza.

Michael Dukakis

In 1987, Michael Stanley Dukakis was a Governor of Massachusetts. The state was doing really well, unemployment was down and the economy of Massachusetts was doing better than most states in the union. He decided to bank on his success in Massachusetts and run against George Bush. The focus of his campaign was the "Massachusetts Miracle."

Mike Dukakis didn't handle the national stage to well. He wasn't aggressive in responding to political attacks by George Bush. There was an issue with his views of the military, including pictures of him wearing a helmet in a tank. He lost the election by wide margin, winning only 9 states.

Download a PDF version of a mailer Massachusetts residences received for a campaign donation. The mailer explains all the positive reasons that people should vote for Dukakis.

Boston Celtics

Congratulations to the Boston Celtics on winning their 17th World Championship! After 22 years, its nice that a new championship banner hangs in the Garden.

Its amazing what has changed in Boston since they last won a championship:

• A new Boston Garden was built
• The Big Dig was just getting started
• The New England Patriots won three Championships
• The Red Sox won two Championships
• Johnny Most died on January 3, 2003
• Red Auerbach died on October 28, 2006

Today's PDF Feature is a letter I got from the Boston Celtics in 2005, asking if I wanted to buy season tickets. Download the PDF file and check out how they were trying to sell season tickets two years ago.

Mystery Spot

In the woods of the Santa Cruz Mountains in California lies a Mystery Spot. No one really knows what the mystery is, but its there and you'll see the spot.

Mystery Spot is a location where the laws of gravity do not apply. You'll see balls rolling up hill and people magically getting bigger. How does this happen? Why does only happen at this one spot?

Download the brochure and add it to your list of places to see in Silicon Valley. Its a fun stop over when going to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk this summer.
