Best Blank Cards Ever

Blank cards usually seem to me like someone just gave up half way through, but with The ____ Cards it is a great way to inspire some creativity.

The only downside I can see is that you will have a bunch of annoying little dots of paper around after you create your perfect card.

Slides from 360|MAX Presentation (Cairngorm + ZendAMF)

Here are the slides from my 360|MAX unconference presentation on Cairngorm and Zend AMF. Let me know if anything is unclear.

MAX Bound!

We are at the airport waiting to fly out. So stoked!

Awesome Mustache

Cameron's Awesome Mustache

This is my brother Cameron.  He works at The North Face designing shoes.  I’m wearing some of his right now.  Very nice.  Anyway, they had a mustache contest at work and he won.

It’s odd, yet somehow strangely awesome.

Cairngorm and Zend AMF [360|MAX]

I will be presenting at 360|MAX on Nov 19th from 3:30-4:30pm.  I will be doing some walkthrough and explanation of Cairngorm and Zend AMF.  To speed up the demos I will be using Cairngen.  I also have created a screencast on setting up Cairngen in Flex Builder 3.

You can find details on the schedule.

Update: The presentation went well. Thanks 360|Conferences, Wade Arnold, and those who showed up. You can can find the slides here.

Setting Up Cairngen in Flex Builder 3

Lately I’ve been working in Cairngen in Flex Builder 3 and I found that there wasn’t a whole lot of documentation on getting that setup, so I created a screencast (video tutorial) on it.

In the tutorial I mention a few links.  I included them below if you need them.

Hello Seattle - Of June [Song]

I recently found this song on TheSixtyOne.com and it is awesome. I grew up in Seattle and love the feeling of the city. I have listened to it four times in a row and love it a little more each time.

I’m going to need to pace myself to make sure I don’t kill it.

The lyrics are really pretty random.

Check out the Lyrics

Quinn the Eskimo - [Music]

I know the original version of the song was by Bob Dylan, but Manfred Mad did the first commercial release, and I heard this one first so that is how I prefer it :)

Great oldie that surprisingly few have heard. Enjoy.

Check out the lyrics.

Problems with the New Theme

So if the first post on the page is too long this theme throws up on itself.

I think I’ll have to fix that.

30onMAX Video

So I finally finished my 30onMAX video. I drew most of it in Illustrator CS4 using the new Blob brush.

It is my first official After Effects project. I would have done more, but the deadline was today, still I’m pretty happy with it, and happy it’s done.
