oOOOO Flash Embrace!

2010-04-26T11:29:00.000-07:00

The continuing fun on the apple - flash dance:
http://techcrunch.com/2010/03/30/chrome-os-flash/
In short, google is including "Flash Embrace" on chrome browser starting next release,
and google chrome OS will also include this :)
Love that Flex/Flash!
Also fun with a new NYTimes Bits article on a company called Datameer:
Just signed up for a test drive with these guys to try out their neato stuff (run by a former yahoo cloud/hadoop guy Ajay Anand)
It's a layer of abstraction into accessing hadoop power. Sounds fancy pants...check this out:

Cool huh?

Merci to the Software Development Community

2010-04-26T11:20:00.000-07:00

Just started working out this site to be transformed into something more useful to the software development community. I never would have been able to have the effort versus effect ratio in my professional development if it weren't for the millions of open-source developers, bloggers, crazy people, nerds, experimenters and of course SlashDoT!!
This is the beginning of contributing back to the community as a way of saying thanks, and also to give out the lessons learned on my side so someone else doesn't have to hit the same brick walls i did. Cheers!!!

Flex/AS/JEE/Random sites for all things considered!

2010-04-26T10:16:00.000-07:00

This will continue to serve as a listing of great finds on the interweb for Flex/ActionScript development, a few JEE links, and some PayPal payment system integration helpers as well. Hope you find em as useful as I have!

Flex/ActionScript/JEE Links are in no particular order (sorry :(...)

Cinko!

2009-03-15T15:49:00.000-07:00

Sometimes you read really great stuff out there someone else wrote that you feel could have been written by you during a moment of simple clarity and focus or something you wish you could take credit for and are really happy that at least someone wrote down what you would have been thinking had you thought of it first.

That kind of thing shall now be known in my world as "Cinko!"...named after an Ugly Doll we've got. Here is the first Cinko! piece, found in a NYTimes article written by George Anders:

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/15/business/15talent.html?ref=technology

"in fields where picking hits is crucial, executives say it’s vital to keep wooing candidates no matter how jittery the economy. In extended interviews, seven of these talent scouts argue that enduring success can come only from adding more of the best people to their teams.

These executives’ specialties are as diverse as architecture, biotechnology and country music. Asked to share their recruiting principles, they touched on a handful of simple, recurring themes. Among them: take chances on passionate people early in their work lives, focus on what can go right, offer rewards no one else can match and harness the lessons of your own career."

Shelby loves to snore lately and has been actively dreaming of all the other dogs she knows at Chrissie field. She has been to the beach almost every day and has relearned the art of "heel" because Mike C. was visiting and gave me some good pointers :)

"can't you take a guess?" "well not for another two hours.." "you can't take a guess for another 2 hours?"

2006-05-02T11:10:00.000-07:00

Bill Stellin finally sent me back a few pictures from San Diego last year and they are the best...I also decided that the only real content that will ever be posted to this site will be 99% pictures...a thousand words per. :) I've got 590+ pictures from the Scotland/UK trip 3 weeks ago, and as sooon as i get it down to the top 20 i'll post them...the 2 rolls of b&w still need to go to the dev lab so we'll have to wait and see for those!!!

Got any valuables in that suitcase?

2006-03-03T11:36:00.000-08:00

So I promised i would start adding more and more content to this thing; the latest news is our opening night for the Bay One Acts festival third week was huge, 120 people in the house and

they loved our show. The after party at the Old Ship Saloon was a blast as the crew and cast from the previous week's shows showed up and bought us drinks. The toughest thing about making the festival isn't the time it takes or the "blood sweat and tears", it's that each show only runs for a week, so one we've got it all down and synched up, it's time to tear down the lights , find new fx, and change the queues for the next week's shows! We get quickly attached to a week and the production team, and then it all changes :( But it's the best balance to the day job I could ever ask for!
So, here are some more pictures I wanted to publish...there are thousands more...but we'll start small....the top picture is something my friend Ashton in the Navy sent over...crazy bears :)

My Brother Patrick and I at the sister's wedding reception. The party was right on the water at the Cliff House in San Diego!

Graduation was the best because the whole family made it up, and with Steve and Stacey we totalled 13...the loudest chanting group in the audience (steve, i hate you LOL)

The best camping trip snowshoeing into YellowStone near the tippy top of Dewey Point..we camped right on the edge in the snow under some trees...and were convinced that the bears were hungry enough to eat us and our our packs! After falling through some ice into a small river stream, we were thanking our lucky stars it was a warm day for March :)

My grandpa Audley and his crazy friend Jack House....i guess these kind of good friends run in the family :)

2005-05-20T15:39:00.000-07:00

Shelby is speaking more everyday, here we've caught her in mid-sentence trying to explain to the camera why she has stolen my favorite shirt and how she has such a hard life it's tough not to yawn :)

2005-05-20T15:32:00.000-07:00

Again...to remind the reader, Shelby likes to eat things that are not really meant to be snacked on...Shelby has taken to eating my clothes....let's see....it was raining this weekend so Pat and I gave her a break and a whole ton of treats... Shelby got to swim at Moonstone beach while we were visiting Humboldt, she swims like a river otter :)

2005-05-20T15:30:00.000-07:00

Here is Ms. Shelby with her new bone she got from Julie Bean...Shelby is quite happy in Patrick's apartment in Humboldt here when we travelled up to see Erin graduate from HSU!

2005-05-06T09:15:00.000-07:00

Shelby is very curious and is also quite the performer :)

2005-05-06T09:14:00.000-07:00

Here is Shelby's favorite sleeping place.
