Flashbelt is right around the corner

The biggest, best Adobe Flash Conference to ever be held in the Twin Cities is happening the second week in June (8th-11th) at the Metrodome Holiday Inn.
Flashbelt’s line up of speakers, topics, and workshops is as good as any other conference you might consider flying out of town to attend.
I had to go New York […]

An Engadget post discussing the future of Adobe Flash

I found this to be a very interesting read:
http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/31/switched-on-apples-brash-flash-clash-rehash/
I find my mac loyalty waning as they become a bigger player in the world of consumer electronics. Has anyone noticed that Best Buy is now an Apple Authorized Reseller? I’m sure that has something to do with CompUSA closing half it’s stores, but I digress.

To all the Flashbelt Procrastinators

Today’s the last day to register online for the Flashbelt conference that’s going on at the U’s McNamera Center next week.
If you still can’t decide if you want to go, there might be a few passes available for walk up pricing, but that’s $100 more.
This is going to be the best flash conference that Minneapolis […]

New FlashMN Leadership starting with a CS3 Demo

There’s been a change in leadership at Minnesota’s Flash User Group. Nate Pacyga had been leading the group for a while and decided to step down as manager. He put out a message to the group in the hopes that he’d find someone to take the reigns. Luckily, two people were interested in managing the […]

Adobe officially Announced CS3 today, but I assume some of us have already had our peek at the new features they were rolling out in new versions of Flash, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, etc. (Sorry Freehand and ImageReady Fans.)

New Minneapolis Based Advanced Flash/Flex Programmer’s Group Forming

Danny Patterson left this post on the FlashMN mailing list Yesterday:

We’re forming a new group in the twin cities that is focusing on Flash and Flex programming topics. This group is in no way trying to take over the FlashMN group, but should be seen as a compliment to an already great Flash group. The […]

ThisLife.org much better then it used to be…

I’ve been a Big Fan of the NPR show This American Life for a long time.
I’ve always liked the fact that they let you listen to every show they’ve ever made for free as long as you streamed it off the web. The only problem was you had to use Real Player, which we all […]

No Sound in OS X When Playing YouTube or Flash

Found a very odd bug on my MacBook Pro - no audio in browser-embedded Flash.
Meaning anything hosted by YouTube is a ’silent’ movie. Sometimes that’s fine. Though, mostly it’s not (especially with the recent unBooming).
I’m always looking for a ‘download’ link, or a QuickTime option - some alternative to the embedded Flash. None to be […]
