Setting up your work environment, whether it be your Photoshop workspace or your favorite coding applications panels, can be a very individual thing. Some people like it this way some like it that way, etc.. So I wont be spending any time here talking about visual layout but rather setting up FlexBuilder ( recently renamed [...]

In AS2 I used a custom Broadcaster class that allowed you to fire an event and pass along an object to the listeners. As I transition and get comfortable with AS3 and the improved event model I have come across a question I cant seem to find a clear answer for.
I have been trying to [...]

This wont be a long post, mainly because I don’t have much to say other than BUY THIS BOOK!! This is the FIRST O’Reilly book I have ever been able to read cover-to-cover. O’Reilly books traditionally have seems very dry, albeit the perfect technical resources, just not a “reader”. This book changes that (for [...]

I’m a bit late on this post, but better late than never huh? This will be short anyway though. I just wanted to say thanks to Mike Chambers, Lee Brimelow, Ryan Stewart, Daniel Dura and the rest of the onAir Bus Tour team for taking the time to stop off in Dallas. It was a [...]

Our team has been eagerly awaiting our copies of CS3 to go through corporate purchasing. So when I saw Senocular’s post yesterday morning stating that the trials had finally been posted, I quickly forwarded the link to the rest of the team and we began downloading. Once the files were downloaded we all started installing… [...]

Okay so the past few months have been a bit hectic to say the least and the blog has taken a back seat to coaching 6 year olds in soccer; organizing/coaching a basketball league for 9 year olds; finishing up another tattoo; getting the bike ready ride; getting back in shape; getting Travelocity ExperienceFinderTM [...]

2006 was a crappy year to say the least with regard to health issues. I got sick with what I assumed was just food poisoning in August. However things never seemed to get better and over the course of 4 months I’ve lost 40 pounds. The doctors have run every blood test known to man, [...]

The past 6 months or so, we have been working on a different approach to shopping for Travel. We have created an app (yes its a beta… maybe even closer to an alpha release) that changes the approach to selling a vacation. Rather than say “hey where do you want to go, when do you [...]
