John has been frantically trying to respond to various FOTB posts, specifically in regard to the last session, but for some reason his computer is not letting him. So he asked me to post this: I am both pleased and saddened by all the conversation going on about FOTB’s final session.… read moreFDT Roadshow: see Andre Michelle in Boston!

I can’t really say how much you’ll get out of these slides if you didn’t see the presentation, but if you saw it, you’ll at least be able to see some of the code that I kind of rushed through. http://www.bit-101.com/fotb/AdvancedASAnimation.pdf Also, at the end of my presentation, I showed off this… read moreOctober 05 2008
A Tilt Shift Fake is a way of altering a photograph by artificially faking a very narrow depth of field. Since we usually see such narrow depth of field in very close up shots, our minds interpret see these photographs as close up shots of miniature models. It helps to… read moreOctober 04 2008
Meant to mention this earlier, but Rob Chiu, aka The Ronin, did this excellent trailer for Flash on the Beach this year. I’ve been a fan of Rob since I met him at the Media Elements in NL in 2004. Followed his flickr stream since then. He’s the kind of… read moreOctober 04 2008
Well, another FOTB is done and gone. Honestly, after the first one being so fantastic, I arrive at each one with a bit of fear that I might have overhyped it to newcomers and even to myself. But for the third time in a row, John has pulled off the… read moreSeptember 26 2008
Finally made it after… about 16 hours of travel. Got to the airport a couple hours early like a good boy, to discover all flights to the UK were seriously backed up due to busted radar or something. Then, when we finally got over there, we had to wait close… read morePolar Distortion with Flash 10 drawTriangles
September 23 2008
I was playing around with some of the new drawing API features for the new book and realized I could redo the Polar distortion class I did a while back. http://www.bit-101.com/blog/?p=1167 http://www.bit-101.com/blog/?p=1187 http://www.bit-101.com/blog/?p=1194 It was amazingly easy: And it's fast! Check it out. This will open full browser, which will slow it down, so… read moreSeptember 23 2008
All over the blogosphere (I hate that word, but what are you going to call it?), all I can read is about how CS4 was released today. Maybe I’m just nitpicking here, but CS4 was not released. It was announced. Release means to let go of, let into the wild. It… read moreSeptember 23 2008
Actually, I might even say I love Flash CS4. CS4 was announced today, and now I can talk about it. Yes, yes, I have OK from the mothership. I’ve been working with Flash since Flash 4. From Flash 5 to Flash MX 2004, the Flash IDE was a major part of… read moreSeptember 22 2008
Four days from now I’ll be in Brighton for the annual Flash on the Beach bash. The last couple years I went up to London and hung out with Tink for a couple days before the conference itself, which was great. But this year I’m going to switch it up… read moreMaybe there’s something to this SEO stuff…
September 20 2008
Back in the end of July I decided to try out the All-in-One SEO Pack WordPress plugin, as mentioned here. I wasn’t sure what it would do for me, but just installed it, used the default settings and let it go. At first I was using the plugin’s interface to… read moreSeptember 17 2008
Just read an article over at AppleInsider detailing how “people privy to private demonstrations of Creative Suite 4″ have judged it to be a minor update. OK, I don’t know much about what’s changing in the other apps, but did they even look at Flash CS4??? All they mention is the… read moreSeptember 17 2008
You know Robert. His site, flight404 has been around since the early days of Flash. He’s the guy who doesn’t do Flash anymore, but speaks at all the Flash conferences. Yeah, that guy - the one where you leave his session trying to reattach your jaw after it dropped too… read more
