I haven’t done a lot of Flash development this weekend. Mostly I’ve been baking bread. I love good breads, so when a co-worker of mine introduced me to the No-Knead Bread method developed by Jim Lahey… I developed a quick fanaticism over it. I’ve made three loafs of bread in the past few days. Awesome …
As per my annual habit, I’m providing a rundown of significant events and reflections for the past year, organized by category. Like always, this is more of a log for my own reflections and milestones, but is publicly available as I believe it a a good representation of my work and achievements for the year. …
To continue the donation incentives began by Elad Elrom and continued by Brian Connatser, I’m also adding an incentive for those who contribute to the 2010 RIA Beard Off for Toys for Tots. Those who contribute donations of any amount in my name (@JosephLabrecque) will be entered into a random drawing to receive a copy …
It’s really interesting to me how creative impulses can arrive in little, concentrated spurts. This is how ideas usually manifest themselves to me, and when they do, I like to grab ahold and just go with it. The past few days I was feeling kinda dry, creatively. Happens every once in awhile and to be …
Work on the upcoming release by An Early Morning Letter, Displaced entitled “Shudderflowers” is proceeding much more quickly than anticipated. If things continue to come together in such a timely fashion, the new release will see the light of day before this year comes to a close. Shudderflowers Fever-Drenched and Burning I Am Consumed Fearless …
I’ve been running this weblog for a few years now and find myself contributing to more than just one… http://blogs.adobe.com/educationleaders/ and http://ctl.du.edu/techblog/ are some other weblogs that I contribute to. Not to mention Twitter. I’m beginning to question whether or not things are getting too cloudy for me. Maybe I need some new direction. Maybe …
I’ve always been the sort of person who tries to create in a vacuum. I prefer isolation and solitude when working on creative projects and have normally shied away from the involvement of others. This is very different, of course, from many of the development projects I work on with a team, and is one …

The last time I messed around with Twitter was mid-2007. I basically used it to post little status updates a-la Facebook and experimented with the (then) newly released ActionScript 3 API. About a month into it, I got tired, deleted my account, and haven’t touched it since. Now, all of a sudden, the US media …
So, another year gone… I’m going to be looking back at my previous years analysis and building off of that. Again, this is more of a historical record for myself than anything else. My daughter, Paige, is still great. I am astounded by all that she says and does and wonder if she might be …
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 …
This is the first time posting something of this nature- I do so hoping that someone will stumble upon it and be moved to make a donation. Tara and Mike of Lycia are participating in the JDRF’s Walk to Cure Diabetes on November 1st and it would be super if more people could make a …
A few weeks ago, I posted the following letter to this weblog as a note of departure. I’ve since decided that it was a poor choice, and have re-instated it here, at this new address. I post the letter here for personal, historical reasons. There is quite a bit of content that was lost in …
