Skiving beside the seaside
In the next couple of days the blog will host a Flash on the Beach (FOTB) homepage take over, designers, techies, and interns descended on Brighton to see what Adobe and the FOTB folk were developing and inventing.
First up are Dan’s notes, from the underground! From the belly of beast! From memory whilst staring into space from his desk the next day …
Josh, the creative Intern, and Viet, the technical Intern, made the journey to the seafront twice. We even gave them a couple of quid to buy crisps and cola. Well it is the least we could do for the trials that they suffer during their tenure @ skive.
The Actionscript team geeked out and were left inspired and informed by a number of standout sessions. Not only did they exercise their minds, but also their hearts – bonding on the pier with a breakfast pizza following a night of shots until 5 AM. I am telling you, these boys know how to party – it’s like after school at the chess club.

Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen has told Telegraph that, since Apple’s just not that into Flash, he and his almost ubiquitous plugin are moving on:

With the device offering the potential for the books appearing on it to be interactive, its appeal to children’s publishers and their target audience is obvious. Some excited commentators are even [...]

I wrote a blog piece back in February highlighting a trend I’d noticed. It seemed to me that Facebook terminology and imagery was beginning to be used more and more by consumers and brands as the platform becomes an integral part of more lives. I thought it was worth posting an update that since then, [...]

I’ve had an iPhone for over a year now and have become worryingly used to it’s touchscreen interface. I say worryingly as I tried to use my girlfriend’s phone last week which has a mixed interface (part touchscreen and part errr, ‘analogue button’) and I really struggled. I kept touching the screen to select different [...]
