Good-bye, MAX2008

Having visited the last sessions of the day and printed out my airline boarding pass, it’s time to wind down. I’m thinking of having another salt-encrusted experience tonight as a send-off. A lot of great experiences at MAX this year including a day at Adobe HQ, some cool product announcements, stimulating networking opportunities, absolute killer

Flash is King

There is really no denying it at this point for anyone who was seriously contending. Flash has the crown and is in no way giving it up. After seeing what Alchemy can do at the keynote today, P2P multicast video, Durango, and Server-Side ActionScript (!) during Sneaks this evening… Good God… what an awesome time

The Flash Platform???

WTF? Wasn’t the “Flash Platform” christened back in the Macromedia days? I’ve been calling it that ever since Macromedia released their original declarative whitepaper in October 2005… Realizing that Flash is a better name than Flex for a platform, Adobe is now referring to everything it does related to Flash (including the Flash Player, Adobe

Lots of great stuff for educators

MAX: San Francisco is Humid

I arrived yesterday afternoon at San Francisco International. Took the BART to Powell and checked in at the Marriott. Pretty tired after the flight from Denver. SF is like Boulder on steroids crack in terms of the atmosphere and unexpectedly very hot and humid. I was going to take my longcoat but chose a small

Preparing for MAX

I’m spending a good amount of time the next few days preparing to leave Denver for San Fransisco and Adobe MAX 2008. This will be my fist MAX and will hopefully be a really nice experience with no mishaps along the way. I’m speaking on a project of mine during the FITC unconference on Wednesday

Audiophile 2496 x64 Rant

Okay- this is a pure rant with nothing of value to anyone but myself. I’ve been using an M-Audio Delta Audiophile 2496 for years now in 32-bit systems: both Windows XP and Vista.  This is a great card- massive clarity above anything else I’ve ever tried.  I’ve produced a ton of projects off of this

FREE Track: “Alice”

Now that Halloween is over, I’d like to make this information more widely available: AN EARLY MORNING LETTER, DISPLACED presents ‘Alice‘ – a free download made especially for Hallowe’en. This composition, nearly 8 minutes in length, is partially inspired by the Švankmajer film from which many of the incidental noises have been sampled. Both atmospheric
