im really liking CS4. CS3 was just far too clunky to run smoothly on windows xp. it seems that cs4 is smoother, and i like the updated interface as well. im also having loads of fun with the pixel bender toolkit, especially the droste effect plugin. very trippy effects from this 3rd party plugin. much love for the new photoshop.

also, i am in the middle of a book called The Botany of Desire, by Michael Pollan. the book explains the relationship between humankind and 4 different plants that humans have cultivated through history. exiting read for plant nerds like me .This book is damn interesting, as well as easy to follow, as it is written for the layman.
