Adobe just appointed Behance co-founder and Cheddar Board Member Scott Belsky as its new Chief Product Officer and Executive Vice President. The serial entrepreneur says he's following his passion as he takes his talents to Adobe Creative Cloud. “I’m excited to jump into teams that I know very well, and I’m excited to work with them,” Belsky told Cheddar. This is not Belsky’s first time on board with Adobe. Belsky previously joined the team in 2012 as Adobe’s Vice President of Products, after Adobe acquired Behance. Now, he joins the board to lead the Creative Cloud business on the product development side, overseeing the company’s Adobe Design team. His focus will be on innovation in Adobe’s key design, photography, and video segments. As an investor, he advised and helped companies such as Pinterest and Uber hit the ground running. At Adobe, Belsky hopes to bring start-ups closer to the company. He noted that, these days, many start-ups are led by designers anyway. “One of the things I hope to do is really to bring us even closer to the customer,” he said. “In this case, the customers that are actually starting companies and transforming industries.”

Goodyear Blimp at 100: ‘Floating Piece of Americana’ Still Thriving
At 100 years old, the Goodyear Blimp is an ageless star in the sky. The 246-foot-long airship will be in the background of the Daytona 500 — flying roughly 1,500 feet above Daytona International Speedway, actually — to celebrate its greatest anniversary tour. Even though remote camera technologies are improving regularly and changing the landscape of aerial footage, the blimp continues to carve out a niche. At Daytona, with the usual 40-car field racing around a 2½-mile superspeedway, views from the blimp aptly provide the scope of the event.
Is U.S. Restaurants’ Breakfast Boom Contributing to High Egg Prices?
It’s a chicken-and-egg problem: Restaurants are struggling with record-high U.S. egg prices, but their omelets, scrambles and huevos rancheros may be part of the problem. Breakfast is booming at U.S. eateries. First Watch, a restaurant chain that serves breakfast, brunch and lunch, nearly quadrupled its locations over the past decade to 570. Fast-food chains like Starbucks and Wendy's added more egg-filled breakfast items. In normal times, egg producers could meet the demand. But a bird flu outbreak that has forced them to slaughter their flocks is making supplies scarcer and pushing up prices. Some restaurants like Waffle House have added a surcharge to offset their costs.
Trump Administration Shutters Consumer Protection Agency
The Trump administration has ordered the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to stop nearly all its work, effectively shutting down the agency that was created to protect consumers after the 2008 financial crisis and subprime mortgage-lending scandal. Russell Vought is the newly installed director of the Office of Management and Budget. Vought directed the CFPB in a Saturday night email to stop work on proposed rules, to suspend the effective dates on any rules that were finalized but not yet effective, and to stop investigative work and not begin any new investigations. The agency has been a target of conservatives since President Barack Obama created it following the 2007-2008 financial crisis.
