    Via her majesty.

    This is old news as I saw this on the History Channel awhile ago during a segment on “non-lethal” weapons. Police, however, know to call the weapons “less-lethal” since they can, and have killed people before.

  • AtlMMUG Thursday, November 18th (Tomorrow)

    Yes, I’ll be in the office tomorrow, so if you stop by, maybe we can do some Flash TextField bashing together, I can show off Captivate, or we can just talk OOP.

    In the second part of his presentation, Leif will be showing off using Flash MX 2004 with Flash Remoting and OpenAMF as well as some of the things that Roundbox Media has been doing over the past year.

    As always, please RSVP.

    Extra directions for getting to Roundbox Media:

    Enter the King Plow Arts Center at “Center Entrance 1” which is the first entrance when arriving from Howell Mill Road/Downtown.

    Roundbox Media is in studio M-107. Enter the main building following the signs to The Food Studio. Once you reach The Food Studio and the courtyard, look for the “M” on the right wall and enter at that door. Follow that hall until it dead-ends at Roundbox.

    I guess I’d call these froth “sculptures”.

  • MXDU 2005: Fly to Sydney for 50% Off

    Father-in-law found this. Today is the last day you can do it. Cost me like 5k or so for one person back in 2002, but this year for 2 people flying from Los Angeles, USA to Sydney, Australia round trip, sounds like a tad over 2k. Frikin’ awesome!

    *** Update: Word of advice, use Internet Explorer, not Firefox. Credit Card submission takes you to blank page after confirmation. Like that?

    *** Update v2: Firefox managed to confirm my debit card, which chared my checking account $1.03… but when I used IE, it confirmed it again, and this time I got my ticket purchased… but it charged a $1.03 again. I reckon that is a price Qantas pays another company to confirm credit card information before entering it into their billing. Am I really going to contest $1.03 duplicate charge on a $2,025 dollar purchase?

    …the whole world should be Flash…
