Flash and Andriod
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009
Hurray~! A smart phone that supports flash! Thank you, Android. Again, you are leading the pack.
Personally, I’m thrilled by this. It’s one step closer to being able to extend interactivity to new input devices. Can you imagine playing a game on a touch screen? Or experiencing an interactive art piece with your hands? The possibilities are endless and exciting. One small step, one giant leap.
You can see a demo of flash on Android here:

BlueCanvas.com
Saturday, April 4th, 2009
Blue Canvas is an online art community that I just discovered. Don’t be fooled by the cheezy web design, there are some top notch artists on the site. In fact, it’s got nice international representation. Out of 10 artists I viewed only 1 was from the US.
Yes, yes, I added myself (and my paintings) to their ranks. You can view my gallery HERE if you want to.
… on a sidenote: I want to be in a band called : ITALIC DRAGON
(inspired by a user from blue canvas)

DimDim is DopeDope – Web conferencing in style
Thursday, April 2nd, 2009
Well chickadees, I found another awesome web app.
DimDim is my new “go to” for web conferencing. Not only does it have a slick, easy to use interface, loads of features and versatility … but also, get this: IT’S FREE!* (free for up to 20 invitees, that is) Why pay GotoMeeting $40 buckaroos a month? Hurray open source!

Robot loves and loves and loves!
Thursday, March 5th, 2009
What do you get when you add:
1. One robot at Toshiba’s Akimu Robotic Research Institute taught to be affectionate
& 2. One lab assistant that spends lots of time with said robot
ANSWER: Robot who won’t stop hugging one terrified lab assistant.
I don’t know whether to be terrified or to completely adore this robot who doesn’t know how to let go.
The trouble all started when a young female intern began to spend several hours each day with Kenji, testing his systems and loading new software routines. When it came time to leave one evening, however, Kenji refused to let her out of his lab enclosure and used his bulky mechanical body to block her exit and hug her repeatedly. The intern was only able to escape after she had frantically phoned two senior staff members to come and temporarily de-activate Kenji.

Flash and the iPhone- lovers at last???
Monday, February 9th, 2009
Okay, so that’s a bit of an exaggeration. They are nowhere near lovers… but, at least, it seems they are beginning to flirt a bit.
As a flash designer and animator, I have been pulling for adobe and apple to put aside their differences and learn how to play well together for A LONG, LONG TIME. It seems as though the peace process has finally begun…
