Yet another year I decided not to attend FOTB. Even being a couple of hours from where I live, I have always find it very expensive for what it looks. However, I was very tempted this year when I heard that Jonathan Harris was going there. I really admire his work and how he uses creatively the technology to execute nice ideas. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you need to see this

After the event, seems like everyone is mainly talking about his speech and how arrogant he was and daba daba. But, from what I was able to read on blogs, you could include me on the "He is right" group.

He has written an article illustrating his points here and, definitely, he is spot on, and what matters most, inspiring. In fact, to me it's quite on the same level as Ken Robinson message.

I guess I'm the perfect example of what he means, a lot of experimentation but no ideas on them. Well, this is something I've been trying to work on for a while already, and hopefully will have some impact on my work in the future. I'm still learning the language I think.

Anyway... Thanks Jonathan! Once again.

Yet another interesting movie everyone should see. It goes way more deep than the first one.

This seems to be a sketch from one year ago:



On a side note... I love when we are in crisis. Seems like if there is a crisis serial killers and violence news disappear. I wish newspapers could just not release an edition one day if they though there were not real news. Ah yeah, I remember, it's all about the ADs.

Some months(?) ago Youtube released the HD version of their videos. Well, that's nice, but take a look at this... now we have Super HD!

Another step for being Windows/MacOS free! The alpha version was out for a couple of months already, but wasn't working too well. The beta runs pretty well the app I'm working on at work :)

Román's idea seemed good excuse for me to start playing around with flash game development... you know, logic, timing, addiction, scores and all that.

It also was a nice little project for try gTween out, which seemed a bit weird in some cases, but was very easy to use.

And, this time the bug in flash player seemed to have random delays when playing sounds. It is only on the Linux version tho, on the other platforms everything was perfect.

Have fun!
