Flash | Retrospective

Booting my Mac Mini now to get the install started. Today is my first day getting back to work after being at TodCon this week, but I’ll see if I can find some time later to start playing with Tiger and its new features.
[UPDATE]
Well — I couldn’t NOT play with Tiger at […]

As reported at most of the Mac sites already, Apple released speed bumped PowerMacs today. Amazon “slipped” by putting the products on their site a few days ago, so none of us are really surprised.
New Specs:
Single 1.8GHz PowerPC G5
256MB DDR400 SDRAM
80GB Serial ATA
8x SuperDrive
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra
Dual 2GHz PowerPC G5
512MB DDR400 […]

Today was the first day of TodCon in Las Vegas. I live here in Vegas so I had a short commute this morning from my house over to the Excalibur. I don’t frequent the Strip much… in fact, I don’t really head down there unless my wife or I have friends or family in […]

I bought the SlideShowPro component a few weeks ago for a quick client project I was working on. Yesterday, an iPhoto plugin was announced for quick generation of the thumbnails and xml. It is really really nice. I have both Mac and PC, but lately I tend to work mostly on my […]

Screenweaver MX: Rest in Peace.
The note on the door says “closed” — actually it says “Support on the Screenweaver (3/MX) product has been discontinued. It is no longer available for download or for sale.“.
I used Screenweaver quite a bit a few years back when making some desktop Flash games for the company I worked […]
