AfterEffects

February 17, 2007

This is going to be my temporary blog until I come up with a cool name. I was thinking “aftereffects” but then I realized that it just sounded good because I’d been reading about Adobe products all day. Whoops.

On the topic of Adobe, my investment is finally positive, an entire $1.80! Forbe’s 500 better watch out. I never planned for it to be a short term investment but for long term I think it’s great. One of my friends pointed out that they have a monopoly on nearly everything graphics related: photoshop(cs3! <3), aftereffects, fireworks, dreamweaver and flash. How can people even suggest that Microsoft has a monopoly? There’re competing programs for Photoshop like Gimp or Paint Shop Pro but they really don’t stand a chance. Apparently Adobe’s Flex is uber awesome too but I don’t have any experence with it.

Dell also seems like a great investment, PC sales went up 65% (wow..) when Vista was released and they just switched back to their original CEO. Best of luck to them!

I’ll resist the urge to talk about my other investments in case they all flop =]
