The Eagle Has Landed
The 40th anniversary celebrations of the Apollo 11 Moon landing go on. Domani Studios built a beautiful Flex-based website called We Choose the Moon that takes us through the odyssey in 11 stages using the material provided by the JFK Presidential Library & Museum.
At each stage are photos, videos, 3D flyovers around the shuttle, [...]
GlobeReader: A Times Reader Clone
Ignorant that The Boston Globe has been owned by The New York Times since 1993, I wrote a snarkiest review about its new Adobe AIR-based GlobeReader comparing it with Times Reader 2.0. The home pages, FAQs, installation experiences, EULAs, the apps itself look eerily similar. Visiting their $PROGRAMFILES and $APPDATA folders hinted that it couldn’t [...]

RunPee During Your Weekend Movie
RunPee.com is a thoughtful Flex-based website that “helps your bladder enjoy going to the movies as much as you do”. It was developed by Dan Floro aka polyGeek who has a simple realistic premise: Every movie has a few scenes that aren’t crucial to the plot that you can miss and not be lost.

Rounding Up An Eventful Week
Adobe Flex & Adobe AIR
Adobe AIR has now been installed over 200 million times. Adrian Ludwig of the Adobe AIR team recaps the various territories it has been adopted into: social apps (mostly Twitter apps, I think), enterprise apps (Salesforce, Oracle), government apps (the Polish Finance Ministry), and what I call novelty apps (like the [...]
Editing Clips Using RichFLV
RichFLV is a great tool but has no public documentation. I have received mails from quite a few users who were lost about how to use it, the latest one being today. I hope this brief post helps all you people and saves some frustration.

You can’t drag and drop a FLV file into opened [...]
Did the Google I/O 2009 Spoil the Microsoft Bing Day?
Google I/O is a developer gathering focused on pushing the boundaries of web applications using Google and open web technologies. This year’s two-day conference appears to have completely overshadowed the Microsoft Bing Day. There must have been two binge parties in both the camps last night for entirely different reasons.
