Yes. It’s true.
Coleco, as in the ColecoVision video game console, actually stands for Connecticut Leather Company. Surprisingly, there were not any S&M games for the system.

Sign up on the site for an early preview invitation. These tools, if not truly competition for CS3, at least look very interesting on the surface. It’s hard to imagine developing so many tools at once.

This is slightly old news but my friend and former co-worker, Geoff Stearns, has announced the beta for version 2 of his infamous swfObject on Google code. In case you haven’t heard, swfObject is probably your best, most powerful, and easiest option when it comes to embedding Flash Player content into an HTML page. The new version was rewritten from scratch and hopefully will become the official, de-facto solution for embedding SWF files in webpages. Kudos Geoff!
