Anark 3D Web Player

Courtesy of my co-worker, Erik Bianchi.

This site uses an OpenGL web plugin to do some crazy stuff. I haven’t seen Director do anything like this yet, so I was insanely impressed with some of the effects. Very curious to see how you author this (aside from the Max/Maya side).

Tomato Soup Rivers & Jatars

The skies unleashed their furry of rain and lightining, ending our double header tonight. I managed to score an effective outfield out in our company softball game only to get out as I tried to take 3rd base… just wasn’t looking at 3rd base coach like I should. As the first wave ended, we took the the field those that were left, and I hit fly balls to my manager and two other co-workers. The 2nd wave came on in with slow force. I tempted death with my aluminium bat swinging to the heavens at the slowing dropping ball, hoping to send it flying to a teamates glove. I was drowning when we all agreed it was time to sucinctly agree with the umpires’ earlier decision to call it a night. Rushing to my car, hoping my cell phone didn’t die in my soaking wet bag full of dirty gear, I crossed rivers of tomato soup. The rain had flooded the fields in such a short amount of time mixing with the Georgia red clay and field dirt, it appeared a vicious, tomato soup had taken on life and was devouring the grass and sidewalk. I managed to make it to my car and make a plan B for Mexican dinner (served by Columbians, hehe). Thank God for modern technology.

Discussed the future, business in general, and the current state of affairs with our lives. The usual friend stuff.

“Welcome JesterXL – NEW MODERATOR

By the time most people read this JesterXL will have been embedded into the Flashcom forum as my co-moderator. I first became aware of JesterXL on the Flashcoders and Flashcom mailing lists so if he seems familiar maybe that is why. Anyway, this is just the welcome thread and has nothing to do with Flashcom server so we’ll just delete it after a little while, but this is where to say hi I guess, the welcome thread is traditional …..

Contacts Component

Whipped this up towards the end of last week. Knew I’d be camping up in the woods, and was estatic my book was mostly done, so did this in my free time. Someone on the <a href=”http://together.hollowcube.com”>Together</a> list (Kristin @ <a href=”http://www.galaxygoo.com”>Galaxygoo.com</a>?) mentioned she wanted a contacts app to easily use something other than Notepad or the back of a business card. That was all the inspiration I needed.

Hope you can learn something from it and/or find it useful. Check out my setEnabled functions!
