I see hundreds, if not thousands of articles each week now that I am an avid Google Reader user. After a while it becomes easy to identify each bloggers style. Lets take for example Scott Hansen of Read More....

As my document class files get larger and larger I tend to have a hard time keeping my place. Especially when I need to jump back and forth between a couple spots. So one trick I just naturally started to evolve was to add my own "bookmarks" into my code. For example if I am working on a function called "showMessage" and I want to jump between the function and where it is being called I might do this: [as3]//# showMessage(); // blah blah blah other code // 1000 lines later //# private functiRead More....

It isn't often that I repost other people's posts, but i have to give credit to the 'Ten Things I Have Learned' by Milton Glaser.

Not that I am an expert on all AS3 books out there, but I happened to get myself into Read More....

The idea of creating an ecosystem through code has started to interest me. I have only just begun my exploration into it, but it is interesting how it changes your perspecting on the worRead More....

In my desire to use code to create artwork, I decided I need to learn how to use code to control actual real-world devices. Lets say for instance I have some code that outputs the number 10. How would I go about making that number make an led flash 10 times This is just an example of course and could be turned into anything, but it is a start and would be a huge start. When I write code I know it will output a .swf, or a .html, etc.. I know my output. But what if I want my output to be light, oRead More....
