I’m getting ready to fly down to LA to speak at FITC Hollywood next week. The event should rock – FITC is always fun, but with a focus on the entertainment industry it should be a blast! Definitely not one to miss out on.
It’s pretty exciting that FITC is starting to expand to new locations, and at the same time FlashForward is evolving and moving to new cities. More Flash goodness for everyone.
Hope to see you in Hollywood!
It’s been a great 10 years! I’ve been tinkering with Flash since FutureSplash, annd haven’t regretted a moment (well, I maybe regret the week I spent learning screens and forms in mx2004).
All the tenth anniversary activity has been awesome. I’ve really enjoyed looking back at old sites that really inspired me. The two that influenced me the most by far were nrg.be, which brought home to me just how cool Flash could be, and yugop.com, which woke me up to the full potential of AS for building experimental and reactive systems.
Ahh… those were the days. So much excitement, so many ideas still untapped! Flash is still awesome, but it doesn’t have quite the same pioneering aura that it had in the v4-5 days (though in its defense, you can actually make money with it now, which is a bit of a bonus).
I recently returned home from Toronto where I was attending FitC2006. As always, it was a great conference, and I was involved in a lot of different ways…
