It was a sunny winter day in Mountain View, CA. The season actually felt like early autumn to my New England-conditioned senses. Lee Brimelow showed up at the Ribbit offices, via an open invitation lingering almost 8 months, to do a video interview with us on Ribbit's API for Flash …
Yes! I got an email from John Davey with an attached personalized badge (see right sidebar) inviting/confirming me as a speaker for this September's Flash on the Beach. Friends who have gone and attended tell me this is a can't miss event!
Visit the Flash on the Beach 2009 site and you'll see …
Internally, much of the company has been chanting "we are going beyond Flash and Flex", but I don't think the word 'beyond' is right to say. Maybe 'to the side'. Definitely not 'over'. Probably not 'in a tangent'. However I can get myself to say it, Ribbit is about to offer the global developer …
Well, I knew this day would come. The day when I could finally connect to the internet and end in-flight boredom for all time!
I am writing now from seat 12c aboard a Virgin America flight from Boston to SFO.

Just found out via Mashable that Obama's administration has chosen to steam the swearing-in ceremony on their site. For some reason, rather than offering up the steam in several available technologies, they've …
To support my prediction for Flash in 2009, I'd like to make the argument that while Flash Platform has become a proven Application platform, Flash Player is being used mostly for other purposes. I'd like to review my assumptions on Flash Player usage, and show why, along with the recent key …
While we wait for the Blu-ray release of Back to the Future, this announcement got me excited. It appears Universal will be releasing each movie individually in a feature-packed 2 disc set in February 2009.
Features include a few 'making of' documentaries plus the entire 'The Ride' …
The new year hasn't even started and already there have been nearly a dozen Flash and Flex conferences announced. With the recent demise of the mega-conference, smaller, more focused events should be all the rage in 2009. As an evangelist in the Flash Platform space, I'm considering several …
