I broke my back on Saturday. I was sledding, then I was airborne, then I was in an ambulance. It was pretty exciting.

While in the ER, I went through the normal round of Xrays and CT scans.

Appleinsider is reporting that Adobe Creative Suite 3 will be released on the 27th of March. This is a big deal, as it will bring native Intel support to the Adobe creative apps. I’ve been running Photoshop CS3 on my MacPro since the beta was released and it’s a definite improvement.

March 27th was a day that had been supposed as a potential Leopard launch date. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Apple do some sort of announcement in conjunction with Adobe, but I’d guess they’re more likely to do speed-bumped MacPros and Macbook Pros to coincide with CS3. Leopard may not be as close to shipping as many had hoped.
