I've used Boss TU-12H tuners since I was in Jr. high school. They are very accurate, have a huge frequency range, a built in mic, and line-in and out to let you put it in your signal chain.

I saw Walk The Line this weekend with my sweetheart. It was pretty alright—about what I expected as far as performances and story line goes.

Last weekend, the Adobe acquisition of Macromedia was completed. Its implications have been in the back of my mind since the announcements over the summer, some of which have already come to light.
Last week I voiced my concern over what would become of my beloved Fireworks workflow, and raised a thought about Dreamweaver's shortcomings as a professional web development tool. Now that the proverbial shit is starting to hit the fan, I've had one or two more thoughts about these shortcomings, or more appropriately, inconsistencies with the rest of the Adobe CS suite, and how they might just be able to turn them around.
