Nov 11, 2008 Adobe, Announcements
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.
Dear Chrome, Please Kill IE - Love, Firefox
Oct 10, 2008 Announcements, Web Development
So, I’m a bit late to be blogging about Google Chrome. Don’t expect to find anything news worthy in this post if you have heard of Google Chrome before; I’m just doing my civic duty.
I had a bit of a Fanboy inner struggle when I heard about Google Chrome. I love Google and I love Firefox. There’s no need to worry quite yet because I also love Apple, so my worlds have not yet collided. Until then I have decided to go with it: I love Chrome!
I love it not only because competition is good for software, but because I hate Internet Explorer so much. The more I have to develop for IE the more I want it to just go away. Especially IE6. How has Microsoft not killed that off yet. Apparently its even dangerous. Not that it is the definitive test, but try out the Acid 3 test with even IE7 sometime and compare it with any other modern browser. It is just wrong.
So the purpose of this post is to reach any person who aimlessly wanders to this site to replace IE with anything. If you don’t need the plugins from Firefox, then go with Google Chrome. Heck grab up some Opera if that is what it takes, just please for the sanity of web developers leave the IE.
In that spirit here is some Fountains of Wayne.

Hello Blog!
Sep 1, 2008 Announcements
This morning I set out with some lofty goals, and thanks to the wonders of WordPress I’m pretty close. I setup the blog, became aquainted with the iPhone application, added Disqus, setup FeedBurner, configured Twitter Tools (hope it works), and found a good temporary theme.
All that’s left to do is make a custom template and write tons of posts and tutorials. Feels good to get started.
