The following was written for my current employers April newsletter.
The flash team recently went along to the Adobe Creative Suite 5 launch party to learn about some of the new features we can look forward to in Flash Player 10.1.

Where’s that Wally

29/03/09

Wheres that wally? This time that wally is me and a week Friday ago I received an email from a friend saying that I had been spotted on google street view. After a brief study of the images I reckon I’m probably walking back to the office of a previous job at lunch sometime around [...]

 

D&AD lecture: Peter Saville

15/03/09

Another This Happpened lecture on Thursday night and another missed chance to go alone. This time a twitter hashtag #thlon and 100 tickets gone in 30secs was my downfall, instead I was generously given a ticket to the Peter Saville lecture put on by D&AD which seemed more then a suitable alternative. 
The lecture theatre was [...]

01/03/09

The whole of February just seemed fly by in a blur, and unfortunently I went the whole month without a blog post. Coupled with this, is the fact I’ve just managed to upload some photos to Flickr of a trip to New York in 2006!

After getting slightly distracted with the makeover I gave this blog last week and getting stuck into other work this week, I managed to spend a few hours this morning working on my Google Maps and Last FM mashup. Not to much to report, although I did managed to calculate a chart for the most [...]

 

Swedish Armed Forces

10/01/09

The Swedish Armed Forces have released two campaigns within the last year, in order to recruit potential officers. Both feature a set of intriguing and testing mind games produced in Flash which have been inspired by parts of the recruitment tests carried out by the Swedish Armed Forces. Each site is individually very good, the [...]

Playing about with my little project Mapping Music and found out that 1.527% of people listening to Sigur Rós on Last FM in Europe come from Iceland. Interesting

 

Blog redesign

07/01/09

A fresh new blog theme for the new year. I’ve spent a few hours building this new theme, and as you can its based upon the styles used at chrisherring.co.uk hopefully cleaner and easier to use then the last. There are a few minor changes still to make and a couple bugs to fix but [...]
