How Flash Could Get on the IPhone [How Wired Could be Wrong]
Dec 3, 2008 Uncategorized
Wired recently published an article on their site titled - Why Apple Won’t Allow Adobe Flash on iPhone, and I think their logic isn’t quite right. I agree there is the possibility that Flash may never end up on the iPhone but I belive there are conditions in which could happen. (warning: conditions may include unicorns and flying pigs).
The article mentions that Flash would actually violates Apple’s Terms of Service agreement for the iPhone and mention two points in particular
An Application may not itself install or launch other executable code by any means, including without limitation through the use of a plug-in architecture, calling other frameworks, other APIs or otherwise,
No interpreted code may be downloaded and used in an Application except for code that is interpreted and run by Apple’s Published APIs and built-in interpreter(s).
What I am hoping is the solution Adobe has hinted at is a version of the Flash Player built for the iPhone as a plug-in of Safari and included as a built-in interpreter. It would mean Apple would have to release it as a firmware update. In that case I don’t see it violating Apple’s TOS. (However - it seems Apple can bend rules if needed)
Now, a more lofty hope would be to allow an AIR like Flash Player built in to the firmware so that applications could be developed in Flex/Actionscript 3. The only way this would be acceptable though is if the iAIR apps were sold through the iTunes store. The only reason I could see Apple doing this is if they wanted to grow the developer community to include Flash/Flex developers, but since they don’t seem to be hurting for developers they may not have enough motivation to allow it. A fanboy can dream can’t he?
Until then I’ll have to be content with my own means of getting flash on the iPhone - lowering my expectations. 
Kevin Lynch (CTO of Adobe) talks more about it.
Best Blank Cards Ever
Nov 29, 2008 Creative, Design, Uncategorized
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.

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.

Another Moo Card Design for MAX
Oct 22, 2008 Uncategorized
So I created another image to be used in making some moo cards to hand out at MAX.
I mostly traced this from an image of Jimmy Page using the new blob brush in Illustrator CS4. I’m going to try to put the images together in After Effects to make a 30 on Max video.
You can see my first design here.

I thought I would put together some moo cards to hand out at MAX, so I did this bit of artwork. It was also the real reason for getting my tablet.
Manhattan - Kings of Leon [Music]
Oct 8, 2008 Uncategorized
The Kings of Leon are a great band to look into. Their latest album Only By the Night is just a solid album to just listen a few times, no skipping songs aloud.
It is just sounds like good Rock to me.
Manhattan is one of my favorite songs on the album. It has a definite bluesy feel, a solid rhythm and lot of personality.
Check out the lyrics after the break
