On Butterflies, Aliens and Mountains

InDes­ign CS3 has a pretty neat Easter Egg: a good friend and InDes­ign Evan­gel­ist, Tim Cole, details the inner details of this easter egg.

The allu­sion to InDes­ign 1.0 through CS2 “But­ter­fly” motif, and the moun­tains to InDesign’s pre­vi­ous code names themes (K2, Annapurna, Caribiner).

The alien is related to QuarkX­press’ alien that appeared when a cer­tain key com­bin­a­tion is used to delete items on the page.

Thanks Adobe InDes­ign engin­eers for teach­ing us that humour is OK in the work­place; and remind­ing us being funny is subversive.
