I have no plans on writing a tutorial, and I generally find building forms in Acrobat to be a pain, and I don’t feel that Acrobat Forms are really worth getting into. On that note, I’ve never before delved into the weird (Flash 4 esq) world of writing javascript for Acrobat, until now…

Acrobat has a neat little feature called Stamps. They are simply other small PDF files that are added to a document to add the same sort of information that a rubber stamp might add to a paper document.

More often than not, I receive invoices and bills in non-paper format. Whether it’s an html email, a Word document, a PDF, etc… Instead of printing these bills and invoices out, marking them paid, and filing them in a traditional paper filing cabinet, I decided I want to keep my filing as paper-free as possible.

After wasting over an hour looking though worthless tutorials on how to write javascript for Acrobat Forms, I came up with paidstamp1.pdf. Feel free to use it for yourself.

If anyone has anything along these lines that’s better than my lazy attempt, please send it to me.

Last.fm has a new masthead, originally uploaded by naterkane.

Last.fm has recently decided that they needed a slightly looser looking masthead, and i just noticed it. Me likes.

It comes in black too.

I often forget that sometimes a nothing more than a subtle update to a familiar interface or brand can help to keep things feeling fresh, even if there actually isn’t anything else substantial that’s going on.

Walmart recently revamped their logo, and I caught it in a broadcast ad. It gives me a smiley face to know that I will no longer have to look at theirs.
