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

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
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

It seems a lot has changed from the release candidates to the final version- a lot of things people did not expect. For instance, last minute surprise changes to the Sound API… and then the previously announced security changes that Adobe has, in fairness, warned us about since Flash Player 9. I’ve stumbled across something

So, we have both Flash Player 10 final (10.0.12.36) released today on top of the CS4 products shipping. We also finally see Flash Player 9 bundled with the newest Playstation 3 update (2.50). Flash Player 10 Do I really need to write anything here? Native 3D, Custom Filter Effects, Dynamic Sound Generation, Fullscreen Keyboard Support,

I’ve never found the need to have HTML links in Flex behave (and look) like their true HTML counterparts, but a student recently asked how she could get HTML links defined in a Text control to behave like regular HTML links. After digging around, I found a lot of references to this problem but the

Sonar 8 was released a few weeks ago. Being in the middle of a project at the time, I’ve had a good week or so to check out some of the new features. Here are some things I like: SONAR Performance Optimizations How can you not like this? I haven’t had a huge problem with
The topic of my presentation will be on the DUVAGA Projection System [VPS] and will cover why AIR was chosen as the platform for this application, the development period, and usage. I hope to include slides, code overview, and demos. It’ll be a fast and furious 30 minutes! Anyone interested in an overview of Flex-based
