This past week I finally finished up and launched a redesign for the Aces Tattoos website. As part of the redesign I reworked the logo (see old logo here), rewrote the entire site, new design, new… well everything’s just new.. that sums it up. The site was done using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, a bit of [...]

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 [...]

I have resisted even commenting on this issue because, quite frankly, Geoff has done a damn fine job of stating anything I would have attempted to say anyway. This conversation is really misdirected I believe. This is the classic case of attacking the messenger because you don’t like the message. So in support of what Geoff [...]

As I mentioned in a previous post, I was looking for a reason to get off my butt and explore the JSFL library for Extending Flash. So I decided to make a really simple script that could save me a bit of time. Every time I create a new Flash file I always spend the [...]

Peter Elst has launched FlashExtensibility.com a site dedicated to JSFL scripts for automating and extending Flash’s capabilities (with respect to the IDE).
Peter states:
“The idea behind this site is to provide an open source repository of JSFL scripts, everyone can get involved and share their work. Right now I’ve got experiments up that I did for [...]

Well I haven’t actually had a nice rant in a while, but after reading Geoff Stearns post this morning about the name change of his embed script (now known as SWFObject) that allows swf files to play in a browser without all the alerts and warning I just couldn’t help myself. This has to be [...]

It’s been a while since I have posted about anything. Truth be told its been a while since I’ve had 3 free minutes. I have been working on a fairly large project that has been rough in some respects but really great in others. The requirements for this project were pretty ambitious however allowed me [...]

A few weeks ago I wrote a small rant about Defending Flash… basically commenting on my frustration at the blatant ignorance surrounding the most recent technology chest beating with regards to AJAX, Flash, Flex, [insert RIA technology flavor here]. Well I thought I did a pretty good job of venting some frustration, but I must [...]

Mike Chabmbers has posted a nice write up on Flash and Web 2.0. There have been numerous posts on every other blog claiming to define exactly Web 2.0 is. Mike (as always) does a great job of listing a number of considerations and why web 2.0 applications will not be limited to any single technology [...]

I find myself more and more lately defending Flash to clients at the expensive of discounting other technologies. With the renewed interest in JavaScript lately and all the hype and “bandwagoning” surrounding “AJAX” it seems like everyone has drank the kool-aid without actually understanding what the hells in the water. I am constantly hearing “we [...]
