Adobe Max 2008 is great!  I am definitely digging the scope of this and the keynote was simply awesome! Was really good to hear some of the vision behind the Flash platform and how Adobe technology will be key for building new interactive experiences. I saw a lot of their material poised Flash to address some of the particular shortfalls that critics say that MS Silverlight provides.

Also some of the tech demos dovetail into some of the work that I have been working on with various clients over the past few years. Very cool and definitely validating.
