Just finished writing Mobile Flash - knackered. Need to have a beer and go to sleep (maybe even skip the beer)

Check out Google.com home's page. They have a cool Scooby Doo logo!

You can now publish Flash to Android and iPhone. Pretty damn cool.

Had a great evening last night at the Chicago AUG. Awesome bunch. Got to present on HTML5. Link to presentation going up soon.

Off to visit the Adobe mothership.

You have to see the hardware acceleration in IE9. It is crazy.

It is interesting to see so many macs and iPad at an MS event - guess they did not get the memo.

Josh Davis just showed me a crazy CANVAS app - check out the endless mural!

Press is waiting outside of keynote - why did they fly me 1600 miles to wait outside? Scratching head??

MS is laying on the "art" with a trowel!

Got to the event. Blogging on iPhone :)

What can jQuery enthusiasts expect from IE9? faster JavaScript, canvas, SVG and new HTML5 elements.

Anyone in Chicago next week? I will be speaking at the AUG on Monday. Going HTML5 all night long!

If you can, give IE9 a spin - great HTML5 support, fast JVM and really fast GPU enhanced graphics.

Getting ready for the IE9 launch tomorrow. Getting up @4 to fly to San Fran. Should be a blast!

Off to San Fran for the launch of IE9 beta. Should be interesting.

Can you believe this? Apple now says you can build apps using 3rd parties - like Flash? Say it ain't true?

Apple releases a boatload of new toys. Wish I had more money!!

Working on new book

I am currently working on a book about writing Android apps using AIR and Flash. I am blown away by how response Flash is. Why is Apple complaining so much?

Google is going to release a new version of Chrome every 6 weeks. Is this a marketing gimmick or something that makes version numbers irrelevant?

My new book on HTML5 came this week. Here is a link (buy 2, it's that good)

Coolest acessory for the iPad has got to be a wireless keyboard. Who needs a laptop?

New Apple Stuff is coming

OK, we have all heard the hype that Apple is releasing a new product. Is is a tablet? Well, sure it is. Heck, it would corporate suicide if Apple did not release a tablet. But I think there will be more. The big story is not tablets, iPhones and iPods - it is cloud based services. Jobs always said you need great software to go with great hardware. I would argue that today you need great cloud services to compliment the hardware/software. We will see tomorrow.

Apple's big annoucement for Jan 27th

There is a lot of speculation circulating around what Apple will be presenting on Jan 27th. Will it be a Tablet? Will it be iLife 2010? Will we see iPhone OS 4.0? Hell, who knows? This is Apple, people. The company who have a patent on "playing your cards close to your chest." After all the hype and circus tricks spreading through the Web, I think we can safely say that whatever we hear, we will be disappointed. Our expectations are simply too high.

Of course, I could be wrong :)

working on a new article - rounded corners in CSS3

Just finishing up a new article on CSS3 corner-radius definition, or rounded corners. It should be popping up on InsideRIA.com some time this week.

Great User Experience Presentation

How the user interfaces with a solution will determine if the solution is successful. A great example is the iPod - you can easily buy music (iTunes Store). sync music (iTunes) and listen to music (iPod). The presentation below is great: http://ping.fm/lUAuK

Microsoft is joning SVG working group and will support CANVAS in future

Looks like Microsoft is now going to support SVG (and they are talking about supporting 2D Canvas). This is great news for Web developers. Interestingly, MS tried to kill SVG with their own technology called VML about 10 years ago. I guess time can heal all wounds! A hearty welcome to MS and standards based Web development.

What do you think of the new Google phone? Looks more evolutionary rather than revolutionary to me.
