JQuery Tutorials
Ah — something else I want to keep track of; from the same site I found the Adobe Air tuts sumup, some great examples of JQuery.
Adobe Air Tutorials
Numerous links to Adobe Air tutorials – getting started, best practices and how to’s — can be found here.
Snow Stack
Really cool 3d interface for those blessed with a Mac, Snow Leopard and the latest Safari – all done via CSS and javascript… More info can be found here.
PV3D to Unity
No, this isn’t a little chant I’m working on — I see I’m not the only one… Carlos Ulloa – of Flash/3d/MiniCooper fame (how many people getting into Pv3d would just spend part of their day driving that thing around in his banner) — has also been playing with the sweetness that is Unity3d. Unity3d…

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…
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…
