JFK airport for our flight back to San Francisco. Upon arrival, we
drove straight down to San Jose for a meeting with some folks in the
Globalization, type and InDesign groups at Adobe Systems, Inc. It was
a productive and enlightening meeting. InDesign and Adobe type
technology are at the core of our communications ministry, and the
opportunity to meet with the publication software giant's engineers
and managers to discuss some of the ways we use and look forward to
using their fine publishing software was a fantastic opportunity. They
thought it was a great chance to meet with some pretty experienced and
sophisticated users and appreciated our visit as well.
An exciting part of the conclave, which included video conferencing
with some team members at Adobe's offices in Seattle, as well as a few
by telephone, was introducing them to an olai, or palmyra palm leaf
page of an ancient Sanskrit manuscript from South India. Jaws dropped
and eyes widened as one of humanity's first forms of type and
publication made its way around the table.
