Trying out the iPad browsing experience

I did a little experiment this morning, disabling plug-ins in my browser aka “the iPad experience”. See where things start to break down? The Apple iPad web browsing experience, not quite what you expect. Yes, there are native apps for a number of these sites (social gaming on Facebook anyone?) I’m specifically talking about the read more »

Apple’s idea of the best web browsing experience

Just hours after the product got announced, a lot has already been said and written about the Apple iPad and I don’t particularly feel I have a lot to add except for that “one more thing”. I’ve been working almost exclusively on Mac for about five years now and its a decision I’ve never regretted. read more »

I’m auctioning שָׁלוֹם.com for Haiti disaster relief

When Internationalized Domain Names became available last year, I jumped on the bandwagon and registered a couple. One of these is שָׁלוֹם.com (Shalom as written in Hebrew). I’ve not done anything with it since and thought it would be a good way to raise money for Haiti disaster relief. I’m holding a blind auction, if read more »

Why you should attend Flash and the City

There’s another new conference coming this year and thats always exciting, but Flash and the City promises to be different.

Well rather than just sit read more »

AS3 Signals – the best thing since sliced bread

If you haven’t heard about Robert Penner’s AS3 Signals yet, you’re missing out.

So what is AS3 Signals suppose to do for you? Well read more »

The black box that is the Flash Player

This morning I read an interesting blog post by John Dowdell highlighting some things that bothered me in the last week or so (and talked about on twitter). We’ve been seeing some sensationalist headlines on tech blogs like “Open Source JavaScript to Replace Flash?” without seemingly any understanding of the (all be it incredibly cool) read more »

Getting StartED with CSS

A few months ago I had the pleasure to get involved tech reviewing a book by David Powers on CSS — one of the technologies I used to work with on a daily basis before switching almost exclusively to Flash Platform development. I have to honestly say this is most probably the best book I’ve read more »

I’m an Adobe Community Professional

Today one of Adobe’s community programs previously known as “Adobe Community Experts” got rebranded to “Adobe Community Professionals“. This was long needed to avoid naming conflicts with other people using the ACE acronym such as the “Adobe Certified Experts“. I’m also glad to report I’ve been renewed for another term in this program. If you read more »

This is what Google suggested to me as search queries earlier today.

The future of the Flash Player

I think many will agree that 2010 is going to be the year of mobile and devices. With Android becoming a serious contender and Apple reportedly coming out with some innovative new hardware its no surprise to me that there’s a lot of buzz around the Flash Player and whether or not Adobe will be read more »
