Weird Machines

Well, I'm back from FITC! It was pretty awesome. I'm sorry for not posting about days 1 and 3, but rest assured they were cool, and I got a lot out of it.

I went to FITC with the intention of going to a lot of cool tech demos and hearing the latest about Flash and ActionScript and all the other cool technology that I use, but as time went on, I found myself drawn more to the creative/design talks. They were much more inspiring, and I realized that I could get much the same info online that I could in the technical topics. No real substitute for inspiration though!

I realize that I haven't posted in forever, but I'm at FITC, and I just paid $13 for a day's worth of internet, so I'm going to use the internet to its full advantage, god dammit.

So! I should probably make a retropost for Day 1, so look for that later. Right now, though, I just got back from seeing ISO50/Tycho and a panel on getting into the industry and some famous designer's experiences. Horrendously interesting stuff.

I also bought a few ISO50 posters! They're awesome.

Time to get back to it.

PS Remind me to talk about our little sneak peek from Adobe of Flash CS4. F-curve editor for tweens? Yes, please.

I'm changing my theme to yet another canned theme, because this one is too thin for code, and I'm about to post some.

...from me to you. The plural you.

I solemnly swear that I will design a sweet-ass theme for this blog. When I have the time. Perhaps between this quarter and next. I have a good idea or two, I believe. I picked the minimalistest theme I could find that didn't look terrible in the interim, I hope you'll forgive me.

Why is this blog here?

Cause I've put off having a blog forever, and it's about time I start having a "web presence", as you crazy kids call it.What can you expect to find here? I find that I have a lot of thoughts that I want to hang on to, but I never write them down. I'm hoping this will encourage me to encapsulate those very thoughts on the most permanent of media, The Internet. More than that, though, I suspect this will end up being a repository for all the experiences I have in my journey through the bowels of New Media. It'll help me remember all of the tricks I learn along the way, and hopefully it will help others in their New Media-related quests.

So! I hope you bookmark this, or del.icio.us it, or Twitter it, or Pownce it, or whatever you do that will keep you coming back to read my brain leavings. And I'm gonna do my best to keep up with this.Feel free to e-mail and yell at me if I'm falling behind.
