Nice To Meet You Catalyst*
* this is not overheard at a Superhero convention.
Gumbo == Flash Builder
Adobe recently announced that Flex will now be known by Flash Builder; my feelings about this are mixed however. There were many times I had to explain the differences between Flex and Flash (and, saying ‘Flash’ in that sentence I mean the capital ‘F’ Flash CS4 authoring vs the little ‘f’ flash which is the…
Google Wave Changes The Game
Here’s a great article on how GoogleWave changes the face of communication…
Neptune’s Fields: Wax
Recorded back in 1991-ish on my Fostex 1/4″ reel — the drums, mic’d with plastic Radioshack mics, and bounced down to stereo (while in the room with the drums), stereo bounce down of some bass/guitar combo, single harmoica track, 2 single guitar noodlings, and the main vox by Tom was recorded tiny and thin.. so…
Abercrombie and Fitch: Crestron and Flex
A quick test of the current Flex interface for iDesign communicating to the Creston control system 2 states away..
Papervision 3d in Flex
Have to say it’s quite fun — sort of reminds me of the old Director3d — or at the least the stuff that Barry Swan was coding as billboards before Director added true 3d support. I’m writing a class for it for a sort of flipping card interface; I’ve seen this done before in Flash…
How I Love You Flex
I’m working on a Flex front end talking to a Crestron backend – and one of the things we’re doing is creating templates of different devices, one being a family of Crown amplifiers, each of which might have 2, 4 or 8 channels of audio to display. Each channel starts out with a Crestron join,…

Bebot
Just saw this app on TUAW and my fear that robots will take over has gotten one step closer in reality. Â Though that little mechanical friend seems so cute (awww! A tuxedo!) it’s really powerful (as I’ve been claiming our future overlords will be!), as seen in the super capable mits of Jordan Rudess:
Scratching Augmented Reality
I caught this post over on Peter Kirn’s Create Digital Music that shows another example of Augmented Reality being used in an extremely cool way. Todd Vanderlin updates us on his little virtual dj projects and demonstrates how he’s using augmented reality for his scratching. Now the only scratching I know would usually entail some…
Multi-touch OSC Client for iPhone
Saw this over at Peter Kirn’s CreateDigitalMusic and luckily I’ve got a jailbroken iPhone, so I’m going to have to play with this. I’ve already had TouchOSC going through OSCulator to control Live so there’s nothing new there – but would like to see if the multi-touch control is reminiscent of the reactable. MSAFluid for…
geek tech: the sixth sense
Was watching this insane video from TED where Pattie Maes and Pranav Mistry of MITâ??s Fluid Interfaces Lab show how one can become a gargoyle from Neal Stephensonâ??s â??Snow Crashâ??: wearable tech that is the aware of the userâ??s environment – for instance projecting amazonâ??s rating of a book one is thinking of purchasing, or…
Un-Christian Bale
Thereâ??s a little audio clip of Christian Bale losing it on the set of Terminator 4 that started floating around on the internet yesterday, this link courtesy of Tyler Durdenâ?¦ Whatâ??s sweet is that only 12 hours later, DJ RevoLucian has already set it to music so that you can your groove on while CB…
Lovely Lita .. er SQLite Admin*
* sung to the tune of  “Lovely Rita” by The Beatles.  Yeah, ok – doesn’t make it any funnier… David Deraedt created this nifty little Air/Flex app for administrating your SQLite databases — helpful for developing your own Air applications. How very meta.
Flex, Limelight and Edge Servers
Former Limelight employee John C Bland helps me out with getting Flex to see the live Limelight stream…
Mac Desktop Music Video
Saw this over at TUAW. Some guy named Dennis Liu made this music video for a band called The Bird and the Bee using his mac desktop. Pretty cool; and shows how a little ingenuity can go a long way. ** originally posted on scribemedia
Truth and Beauty
I just finished watching this presentation by medical illustrator and animator David Bolinsky â?? posted first on the TED site back in July, and lately refreshed on motionographer â?? and thought it was worthwhile pushing it here. ** originally posted on scribemedia
Unipsycho
Itâ??s appropriate that riding this thing would be the equivalent of kicking me in my naughty bits; as the inventor, Ben Gulak is only 18 years old, and thatâ??s enough of a kick to the groin. Canadian too. Ouch. It looks like one wheel, but itâ??s actually 2 wheels side to side and using gyroscope…
