Adobe released the Flex Component Kit for Flash CS3 today which helps bring together Flash and Flex so designers and developers can work together. This is something we’ve been struggling with on our team, so it’s a VERY welcome release, and having seen some early versions of this, I’m glad to see it progress […]

Old Georgetown is Dead. Avant garde Georgetown is also dead. This has not been news for quite sometime; beyond more land use applications, Earth Day type activities, and events sponsored or run by the local business association, there is little more to say. The logic is that Georgetown Stew must also follow, since it is what has come before that has made this blog. What comes after is up to you, dear reader. This requires an explanation, and my hope is you can bear with me at length.

So far, we’ve received a plate of homemade cookies from one neighbor and a bottle of wine from another neighbor. If this is the hospitality of Boulder, I’ll take it. I’m starting to really like this place, despite my previous…

How’s this for a media quote?
Microsoft last week made what is likely to be a lame attempt to slam the barn door after the video horse has bolted, copying the Adobe Flash Video strategy with a product that is quite simply too late.

 That’s The Register on Silverlight, announced last week at NAB. They seem very […]

I think I became a true Boulderite last week. I attended an evening screening of The Big Lebowski at the Boulder Theater. There was a $1 off White Russians if you came in your bathrobe. [It’s on of those old…

I’m back at home after a fun, but crazy week. Web 2.0 Expo was awesome, but I stretched myself a *bit* too far. Keeping on top of my development job, planning 360|Flex, blogging a week in which Microsoft and Adobe both had significant RIA news, then moderating the panel and helping out with blogging on […]

The Seattle Art Museum opened its Olympic Sculpture Park on Saturday, January 21, 2007, to an estimated 23,000 first-day attendees. By mid-April, the park had welcomed nearly 250,000 visitors.”Wake,” Richard Serra”Seattle Cloud Cover” (bridge), Teresit…

I caught this over at BoingBoing this morning:

A Vatican panel has issued a report that concludes that unbaptized babies go to Heaven, not limbo, as the Catholic church has been claiming for centuries.

Looks like that magical thing we know as religion is keeping up with the times, too (or at least trying).

Over a year ago, in a post titled Brainmarks, I wrote about some of the common frustrations in trying to remember where to find specific web content. In addition, I considered the pros and cons of having access to a “private cache” of visited web sites. I see now (via the Official Google Blog) that this “private cache” idea has become a reality in a new Google offering called Google Web History.

Once they figure out how to enable it for users that don’t want to install their Google toolbar, I may just give it a try.

This Forever Geek article on the price of Internet access in 1995 reminds me of the day my mom came upstairs and asked me why this “Internet” thing I was so fascinated by was costing her over $200 in a single month.

But it was worth every penny.
