WE are the future of the Flash Platform
Ted Patrick has posted what I consider to be an important piece of information on his blog titled The Future of the Flash Platform. If you are a Flash Platform developer of any kind (or skill level), please go over to Ted’s site and read this post.
Transitions in Spark skins
I’ve just posted the follow up to my first article on InsideRIA. Last time I wrote about getting started with Spark skins and we created a button. This time we add transitions between the states of that button.
Go check it out and let me know what you think.
Here’s the first one – Getting started with Spark skins

Tilt Shift Photo play
After checking out some links about tilt shift photographic effects in a tweet from Mike Chambers (@mesh) I thought I'd give it a quick try based on this tutorial. While I've seen tilt shift photography plenty of times before, I never really realized what it was or how it worked. At any rate, here are my quick tries at this awesome effect.
Note: I am definitely NOT a profesional photographer.
Another Note: Numbers 2, 3 and 4 were taken with my iPhone.
Another-nother Note: Roll over the images to see the before/after

Ok, that's all I got. See ya later.
My InsideRIA debut
I finished up my first blog post for InsideRIA this morning and thought I'd share on here as well. The topic I decided to cover is "Getting started with Spark skins". I hope it helps someone out and I look forward to posting more on InsideRIA in the future.

Tour de LiveCycle
I was sent a link today (thanks Josh) and I wanted to go ahead and pass it on. The link was to the new Tour de LiveCycle. It looks pretty slick and I'm looking forward to really digging around in it.
What is it?
Tour de LiveCycle is a desktop application designed by the Adobe Evangelist team to serve as both an introduction to Adobe LiveCycle ES and an extensive reference tool.
You can (and should) install it from the Tour de LiveCycle badge below and you can (and should) read about more it on the Adobe site or on Greg Wilson's Ramblings.
