After nearly six years of letting it stagnate, we finally got around to redesigning our site and blog. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while (read: 5 years), but it always winds up at the end of the list after client work and all the other things we build internally.

FITC San Francisco
I have to admit, I’m excited about FITC San Francisco. The conference has an amazing line up, including my personal Flash hero, Yugo Nakamura. It’s also in an awesome location.

Return of the Blue Lego
Apple eliminated the blue lego icon that indicates a missing plugin on the iPad.
