A last minute change: I'm going to be presenting my brand new session, Grab the Low-Hanging Fruit (or 5 Rules for Hedonistic Creatives) at Flash on the Beach next week. The session got rave reviews at previews in Amsterdam and Belgium this week and I hope you guys will enjoy it too at FOTB in Brighton. Here's [...]
A quick <head>s up: the $99 early-bird discount for the <head> web conference will be ending at the end of September (in just 5 days!) If you were thinking of attending, purchase your ticket today so you don't miss your chance to attend at the discounted prince. Starting October, tickets will be sold at the regular [...]
I'm setting up the demo assets I'll show in my speech at the FOTB conference in Brighton. In a presentation where the speaker has to show a lot of code buried in several different classes it's extremely useful to have the ability to quickly access to the right line of code. That avoids the speaker from wasting a lot of time searching for the code or the file he needs and from those embarrassing and long silence moments
It's just a few days until THE Flash conference starts, so here is my schedule: Monday: 9:00 - Even though I'm a notorious keynote skipper this time I will check out Richard Galvan's Flash Now and in the Future sounds like a good way to get an overview over the latest developments. 10:15 - Stefan Richter with Building Collaborative Applications might have some ideas we could use for Aviary. 11:30 - Oh no - first conflict! I have make a decision between Branden Hall and Dr. Woohoo. I'm pretty sure Branden will have some great inspirations for coding or algorithms

This one’s from my Mashups class. The first project, was to build an RSS Reader. I’ve already posted a quick tutorial on how to build an RSS reader with Adobe Flex. Here’s a simple one that uses JQuery to get the feeds and then loop through them to output them to the browser window. Piece [...]
You can read here a short interview I did with my friend Pedro Furtado for his Daily Papervision3D blog. It is a great pleasure for me to start his new section My first time with Papervision3D, where developers developers speak about their first experience with the engine. A long time ago in my case        [...]
Here is a demo of how you can use Tweener on the Flex3D object. You can download the Tweener classes here. Its all easy to use Flex components. Very basic and easy to learn. Check the demo here and the source here. Download Flex3D 0.1 here.
It looks not as cool as iPhone. Developers might buy it because it’s another sandbox to play with. Consumer? for $25 bucks more, most of them will go with iPhone, I think. How do you think?
The Ajax Experience is a Web 2.0 centric conference now in its third year. Adobe is a sponsor of this year's event in Boston, and fellow evangelist Kevin Hoyt will be speaking about AIR and more.
WDDG created this neat site for the clothing designer Marc Ecko. I especially like the transitions as they are very fluid and work right into the design. Very cool work.
Finally I had the motivation again to work on the Flex3D library. So this will be the first release of it. It contains a View3D and Cube, for now. I’m working on implementing the base for the Primitives and also a proper View3D (according to the component lifecycle structure). Well, how to use the Library. The View3D [...]

I had an absolute blast previewing my new talk, Aim for the low-hanging fruit (or 5 rules for Hedonistic Developers), at the Adobe User Group events in Amsterdam and Ghent during the Adobe CS4 launch. I always love presenting in both the Netherlands and Belgium -- you guys are so awesome -- and this time [...]
Not the best way for a new software presentation :)
CS4 flash error
Hiring Horror is the outcome of many fun, anecdotal incidents involving email replies, ‘twit’-like behavioral patterns and other résumé spasms.

No, I am not going to get into any presidential political discussions here. But, I mentioned PolitiFact to a few people lately who had never head of it, and so am sharing it here, too. PolitiFact is a project of the St. Petersburg Times and Congressional Quarterly to help you find the truth in the presidential campaign. Every day, reporters and researchers from the Times and CQ analyze the candidates' speeches, TV ads and interviews, and determine whether the claims are accurate or not using a Truth-O-Meter (which measures True, Mostly True, Half True, Mostly False, False, and Pants On Fire). Results are unbiased, non-partisan, succinct, informative, and fun, too!
A while back, I thought it would be a neat idea to build an AIR application that made it easier to configure and deploy badge installers. Adobe agreed, and the Badger application was created... Badger allows you to load a template install badge, configure all of its options, preview it live (via the HTML control in AIR), and then export it for deployment. Badger also takes the pain out of configuring badges by...
