360Flex Camp New Jersey Arrived at JFK, sitting
The joys of having a business partner in another state/time zone; we don’t fly together, and rarely do we ever land at the same time when we fly places.
Case in point, today. We both red-eyed it to New York (JFK) for day two of 360|Flex Camp NJ. I arrived at 5am. Tom doesn’t arrive until [...]
EffectiveUI Does Android change the game for Apple?
With Tmobile announcing the G1 yesterday, and Android SDK 1 hitting the streets as well. I’m wondering what Android means to Apple.
I’ll admit I wasn’t onboard with Android, and am still not sold, but I have to admit, watching the video, and reading some of the live blogs from the event yesterday, the G1 is [...]
Finally selected my new laptop bag
I’ve been on the look out for a while now for a new bag for a while now. I’ve got a few; A targus bag with more pockets than a mutant kangaroo, but that’s heavy and hurts my back/shoulders no matter how I hold it. The Macromedia Man Purse from Devcon ‘01 (I think it [...]

setting up Wordpress on a mac, easy minus one lame small gotcha
I’m installing Word press locally on my work laptop so I have a test bed for something bigger that I’m doing. I found an old OS X 10.4.x blog post guide, which was really helpful, until it got to connecting Word Press to mySQL.
Then I lost all sense of self, and slowly went insane, for [...]
EffectiveUI R&D Project, Android Comic reader
I had no idea people were reading comics online! I knew Marvel had their eComic thing going on for the last year or so, but didn’t think anyone was using it. Or cared.
Who knew that there was another alternative, that’s existed for who knows how long, the CBZ and the CBR.

Getting itemRenderer position in an Advanced dataGrid
I was working on a project that required me to replicate MS Access type functionality, in Flex. One of those tasks was clicking into a cell in the datasheet view and knowing what column I selected, so that I could change that column’s datatype. I also have to know which cell specifically was clicked so [...]
