I am going to Flash on Tap! Words cannot describe my excitement at the prospect of attending a conference with two of my Flash heroes, Grant Skinner and Keith Peters. Plus, the conference happens to be in Boston (where I served a mission for the LDS church) in October, which is a great time of year to be in Boston.

Cuil or not Cool
My impression: Not cool. I guess this new search engine that was started by some former google employees has gotten alot of hype, but I think it’s a bust. And it’s not because it’s a bad search engine, in fact it’s a decent one. However, in my mind, trying to compete with google’s search engine […]

So… how do I display swf files (in fullscreen, like PPT) from a pre-made playlist? AIR to the rescue! It only […]

Flash Source Code
I love the Flash community. I can’t think of any other web area where people are so willing to share their resources, ideas and techniques. A great example is flashsourcecode.com.
