It’s a huge release… took something like 2 years to complete. Has all this great stuff. But, you’ll be damned if you want to find details on adobe.com.Feel free to comment with links to information about this release… think of it like a scavenger hunt. I’m really at a loss as to what the thinking is in Adobe’s PR department–assuming such a department exists.

Includes hints for @phillip’s Puzzle Page:
See it visually:
For well over a decade I’ve been producing printed handbills. Starting with years of the all text, very dense, “The Phillip Newsletter”. It would have hidden puzzles once in a while but it was very dry overall. I produced a Wanted Poster a couple years ago as my first venture in graphic color printing. That was followed by the old timey style true handbill.
Naturally, there’s a good chance you have one or more of these artifacts!
Anyway, that last handbill was never mailed or stacked for people to pick up, but always handed by me personally. Well, nearly 100% of the 3000 I estimate I handed out.
My latest printed item is the @phillip’s Puzzle Page where you have a chance to win CS5 Master Collection. (Because of past behaviors I now need to clarify that, in fact, this is a real contest and you really can win your choice of CS5 for mac or windows…. totally legit.)
So, anyway, you can TRY to do the puzzle page from the soft version below. I really have to be clear that I don’t believe it’s very easy to solve all the questions without having a properly printed version. However, I will also say the puzzles aren’t terribly difficult and they are all very do-able. They’re not arbitrary. And, now that I’ve handed out about 300 I can safely say there’s nothing of significance that I’ve discovered that make these puzzles unclear or unfair. I’m not changing anything if I have to print more.
By the way, thanks to Influxis and for sponsoring my handbill!

Well, some of them:
Can you guess who’s phone is who’s?
In getting ready for Flash and the City, I figured I might want to start using the Flex Framework as a way to simplify the complexity of ActionScript 3. Little did I know that when printed at about 6 point font, the framework takes 24 square feet!
There’s a really nice park down the street and, I swear, if there’s ever anyone at that park it’s “crowded”. So, one busy Saturday we cranked this out:
