“Big Ern is above the law!!” (and can put tweets into .swfs!)

…is how I feel right now. Just got done cramming tweets into Flash for an upcoming tutorial on, duh, Twitter and Flash. It wasn’t the hardest thing in the world, since it mostly involves parsing XML, but then ya gotta spice it up and make links clickable, show user images, make them clickable. And the [...]

My Personal Reply to a Spammer

I hope I get a response (big image below)…

Silverlight, Sony, Flash, TV, iPlayer, & GPU acceleration to the nut!

… this article has it all! And between all those brandnames & techno-droppings,  the people at Crave, a gadget blog, have had their Silverlight spell wear off a little bit. So says their recent article titled, Adobe: We can conquer the world with Flash . Amazing what one technical evangelist can do.
I’ve been hearing for [...]

Oh creepy, I saw my first Cube yesterday

…Nissan Cube that is. This isn’t a car blog, but it is a design blog. And there’s something very off about these cars.

Since I figured out how to embed Vimeo’s directly on the blog, here’s a pasting the official description by the creator…
When a hungry [...]

Adobe sez, Keep it legal, dawg

Here’s an interesting little micro-site that Adobe created in the hopes of converting non-believers in legal software. Its kind of a NES-era Zelda-ish RPG. Well done, and the sounds in it are 50% of the fun (like all good animation/games!)

Annnnd here comes my editorial: I’m obviously a big proponent of legally owning your software. Just [...]

Very cool particle tests…

Thumbizy: Website thumbnail generator, pointless or awesome?

…I’m leaning toward awesome. Maybe. Test it out at Thumbizy.com, ( just don’t use a Flash site ) enter the site address and BLAMO!! you get a thumbnail. Actually “Blamo!” is an exaggeration, its not that fast, but after a few seconds you do get a thumbnail.
I know this site isn’t the coolest thing in the [...]
