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 […]

Font embedding WTF in Flash

I’m sorry if this is old news, but I was absolutely horrified to realise today that if you have to embed fonts in every single dynamic TextField on the stage, even if they are all using the same font! I don’t know about you but I really hate when things don’t work as they should […]

Apollo 11 40th anniversary edition of MoonLander3D

You probably realise I’m a bit of a space nut. Could it be the cheesy pictures of me in mission control at the Johnson Space Center? Or the fact that I dropped everything to see Buzz Aldrin speaking in London a couple of weeks ago? Or perhaps the fact that my most prized possession is […]
