Anger, Denial, Acceptance (a more than average geek speak post)
Back in 1995 I was getting interested in this fad called the internet and for something like $30 a month I bought an earthlink dial up account and they gave me a website with a whole 5mb I could upload to. It was the beginnings of absolutwade.com. After playing with Adobe Pagemill for a few hours, I found GoLive Cyberstudio and liked it instantly. It was awesome, you didn't have to learn all that Hypertext doodiggity, instead you could use a layout grid that let you place the objects where ever you wanted on a web page and upload it right up. Sure the code it wrote was mind boggling crap and never looked the same in any two browsers, but it was the arguably the first time a designer had the ability to layout a website much like they would a print layout.
Adobe later purchased the fledgeling little company and gave the software package it's stardom as a respectable product. It also cleaned up it's code writing and I had to quickly learn HTML and other fun languages really quick or the developers where I worked were going to tattoo the tags on my forehead.
GoLive continued to grow up and be a useful tool for developers and designers alike but was still always the red headed bastard step child to the professional web media building masses. I was a long time user so I had some pride that I knew all the little tricks and tools of the software.
MacNN: Adobe to Phase out Freehand and GoLive to keep Illustrator and Dreamweaver.
Okay, fine, I made the change from Freehand to Illustrator years ago and I have to admit. Dreamweaver is a cleaner product and I regularly like to use BBEDIT too. Still, I think it should be noted that GoLive was an important part of the process in the early development of the web. It was a bridging gap for many designers to bring them over to the world of internet design. It was a good idea for it's time and sad to see it go.
Farewell GoLive CyberStudio aka Adobe GoLive.

I would tag other people to do the same, but I don't know anyone with a blog who would take the time to respond. If you feel so inclined, do so in the comments.
Delicious Library
How friggin' cool is Delicious Library? You can add your existing media to it simply by holding the bar code up to your isight camera, it finds the item using Amazon.com database online and then you can keep track of them if you loan them out, track current resale value, Auction item on eBay, etc. You can keep track of your Books, Movies, Games and more.
