UK Papervision3D training February 2010

Back in my home town Brighton and my favourite venue the Lighthouse, I’m running another 2 day Papervision workshop on the 1st and 2nd February 2010. As ever, I’ll be covering everything you need to know to get started with Papervision and then on to the cool stuff, games, skyboxes, augmented reality, interactivity and much, […]

We won a freaking BAFTA!

I’m still reeling from the shock of it to be honest. We’ve never won any industry awards so far, so for our first to be a BAFTA is pretty incredible. (For the non-Brits among you, I guess it’s our version of the Emmys) The ceremony was at the Hilton in Park Lane, and it was […]

Web Design TV from .net with… er… me!

Pretty embarrassing but what can you do? 🙂 Filmed at the official MAX hotel in downtown LA: The Westin Bonaventure, which is such a weird hotel but I really like it in a kitsch sort of way. I heard that the architect was a fan of the early 80s TV show Buck Rogers, which would […]

Simple Flash 3D drawing API

I’m most passionate about hiding complexity with simple APIs, which is one of the reasons I’m so excited about Hype. A few weeks ago Peter Elst told me that he was trying to find a simple way to draw 3D shapes, and so I helped him with a bit of code. He’d done some great […]

I paid Jennifer’s parking ticket

If you saw my presentation at Flash on the Beach, MAX, or FlashPitt, you’ll know that I’ve been trying to get hold of Jennifer Blackwell for some time now. After a month of voting on iwillpayyourparkingticket.com, you chose the winning tweet from twitter.com/jenwell, and I couldn’t be happier with your choice! It is so in […]

Big and Small nominated for BAFTA award

Title says it all really! Suffice it to say we’re all totally blown away here at Plug-in Media in our new offices in Brighton’s North Laine. We’re in the category for “Children’s Interactive“, the same category our friends (and neighbours) at LittleLoud won last year. We have stiff competition, but honestly, it’s honour enough to […]

FlashPitt – a brilliant small conference

It’s so heartening to come to Pittsburgh and be a part of FlashPitt, especially after the craziness of MAX. And just because it’s small, that doesn’t limit its awesomeness. Having put on FlashBrighton’s Big Day Out (which was less than half the size of FlashPitt) I know how much work goes on to produce conference […]

How I learned to stop worrying and love Adobe

You may have seen some of the comments on my previous post, the first report from MAX this year. At first I was surprised and upset by Mike Chambers’ and Lee Brimelow’s reactions, but I wanted to take the time to reflect on this and gain some perspective on their point of view. It can […]

Exciting changes for Papervision3D

You’ve probably seen the official announcement on the Papervision3D blog already but I just wanted to summarise here and give my take on the situation. Of course, Ralph has left, and i’ll miss him. But smart people like him need constant new challenges and I have no doubt that he will move on to bigger […]

Adobe MAX part 1 – Flash on the iPhone

It’s been a few days now since I left LA and the craziness that was my first Adobe MAX. And honestly, I’m not sure how I feel about it. So I’ve decided to offload my thoughts here on my blog! You lucky people. 🙂 My first attempt at this blog post upset a lot of […]
