With the special numbering of 9,000, we kick off Ryan and I's highlights of Adobe MAX 2009:

• Quick rundown of Adobe MAX 2009 announcements such as: Flash 10.1 with much focus on mobile, LiveCycle ES and mobile access.
• Check out PNC's Virtual Wallet.
• Ryan having just given a talk on the Adobe Collaboration Services, I ask him to give us an overview.
• Of the services and announcements, I like Shibuya which is Adobe's service for doing an App Store. This brings up our favorite topic of small development shops - even of one - having a viable revenue pipe.
• Experimental code using putting FXG into the canvas tag and other sneak previews. (Check out some more HTML 5 vs. Adobe "fun" over on Apple Insider.)
• iPhone app development with the Adobe tool-chain. Be sure to check out the "iPhone in a blender" video which is sure to further win over Apple's hearts. And, see the PhoneGap approval we reference.

Disclosure: Adobe is a client and paid travel and hotel for Adobe MAX. See the RedMonk client list for other clients mentioned.

This week, both John and I are out and about at conferences, necessitating the dreaded, lo-fi phone recording option. Enjoy!

• John is at the NCIO - John gives us a review of that. Google providing custom search engines for the US intelligence agency. Reminds me of Citrix talking about how much intel agencies like virtualized networks.
• itSMF Fusion - pretty good so far. John says their problem is figuring out how this maps to cloud computing.
• Check out PuppetCamp - see agenda and details - Oct 1st and 2nd in SF.
• What's "the consumerization of IT" look like here? How does that trend effect how IT service delivery is done? Maybe it means more meta-data encoding, John says, echo'ing the Reductive Labs guys. Maybe IT has more time to customize their applications, like adding dopplr to hotel kiosks instead of those kiosks staying stale.
• Upcoming RCA webinar - Oct 1st, register here.
• Dell & Perot - Timothy Prickett Morgan at The Register has a nice analysis. We recall Perot and EDS stories, like a good Dallas Morning News story on the history of EDS.
• CA buys NetQoS - summary of my take, and John gives us the common view of CA: a cash-cow holder.
• Jonh'll be down in Austin this week, we'll have a live recording.
• Groundwork 6.0 out - among other things: JBoss portal re-write, dashboard stuff. Also MonitoringForge.org.

Disclosure: Groundwork, Reductive Labs, Dell, and others are clients.
