My Mac Pro is starting to get kind of dated and I've been lusting after some of the newer/faster systems out there. I'm ambO/Sdextrous and spend my day working back and forth between a pc and a mac and had started to get tired of the minor issues I have working between the two systems so I had considered a tricked out pc with Windows 7. I wasn't too happy with Apple when they decided to change their licensing agreement and shaft Flash developers... that wasn't very cool of them.. Then I saw that Keith Peters went back to the dark side... and now.. well.. let's just say Steve's little rant sealed the deal for me.

So I'm enjoying some of the comments on his "pot calling the kettle black" tirade like this one, and this from icrontic. ha. And it's good to see some of the comments like the ones on this article... lolz.. some people do understand that while HTML5 is a great improvement, it's a very different tool from Flash.

I figure it might be Christmas before I slow down enough to go through the hassle of switching files and everything over to a new system, but when I do get that time I'll probably be getting a nice high end gaming system. One that can play Crysis.

wow..... the announcement today from Adobe about opening the Flash Player up to the market to be placed on any imaginable device is just stunning. This is going to place even more demand on people with Flash skills as these companies begin to produce handheld devices using the Flash Player.

The only thing in the press release that set off my BS detector was this.. "“The Open Screen Project will make it simple for Verizon and our partners to deliver rich mobile experiences to more devices,”" .. yeah, and how big of a fee will they charge developers before they can develop for the Verizon network?

I also noticed that there was no mention of Apple in that press release.

Mike Chambers posted an update on his blog about the rebuilding-moving-updating of MXNA. I've been getting my fix from fullasagoog for a while since MXNA was beginning to be overwhelming.

Oh.. some random things.. Gregarius, Rubicon .. I've been having some fun with those.

ok, so this shot through the old radar way back (first of October?) and apparently a lot of people had the same reaction I did "..too... busy... will.. deal... with ... later.." because I rediscovered the Adobe AIR Marketplace today and saw that there were 27 apps listed in the Most Recent list. So I looked through those and thought some were cool and clicked on Highest Rated.. same 27 (but different order of course). So I clicked on ALL.. same 27.

I'm interested because I'm just finally getting into AIR and need some examples to show people and the AIR Marketplace has some but I'm finding there are more around. Submit them to the Adobe Marketplace if you've got them.

And if you have no clue what AIR is then go here and/or to the Adobe AIR Marketplace
