Replying to @AdobeCare
@AdobeCare Disappointed with support I received trying to update billing & change plans. The rep told me the $9.99 1TB Lightroom plan didn’t exist (not true), and then also made no attempt to help me reactivate my account at my existing pricing (14.99 for 1TB plan w/photoshop)

I was at that pricing since I’ve been a long time Lightroom CC user (purchased LR1,2,3 & 4 and have subscribed since 2014), so I was surprised the rep made no effort to help me with that. Thankfully I did my own research confirming $9.99 plan still exists...
How soon before our big consumer packaged goods companies are perceived like tobacco companies? Seems like it’ll happen soon. “In Town With Little Water, Coca-Cola Is Everywhere. So Is Diabetes.” @NYTimes nyti.ms/2JmnqKH?smid=nytcore…

At the root of so many of our issues is our housing crisis. Our unending systems of laws seems designed as if to say NO to creating more homes, and we've seen the results. It’s time to say YES to more affordable housing, more middle income housing, and more market rate housing.

Pedestrian deaths are up 46% since 2009, but it's not texting or calling while driving that's causing the increase — it's SUVs. axios.com/pedestrians-death-…

Homeless folks sleeping in cars and RVs at the Berkeley marina whom I spoke to today: -One is a public school teacher -One is already twice-displaced: foreclosed in SF, evicted by rent hike in San Pablo -One is just got her master's degree from UC Berkeley. In journalism.

Google Reader shut down five years ago today, and I’m still kind of pissed about it.

Where is multi-family (and therefore affordable) housing illegal in SF? The red zones.

Street repurposing: Note that the two added bike lanes can move almost as many people as all the car lanes previously. They take up as much room as a single car lane.
