Just a reminder that Flashpitt is this Friday. I am really looking forward to this event as it is the first one, and I really enjoy the smaller conferences as it has a certain intimate feel to it that other bigger conference don’t have. I am really looking forward to seeing and meeting Golan Levin. If you aren’t familiar with his work check out his site chances are that you have seen some of it. He really does amazing work.I am going to be speaking about getting Ardunio and Phidgets to talk to Flash. I am going to show some examples and some projects that I have been working on. If you are interested in getting into this stuff than I recommend checking out the session. There will be a little bit of code, but just enough to get you started and pointed in the right direction to explore it on your own.

If you are going to be at the conference be sure to come say hi. I am also going to be there for most of the day after so if anyone has any suggestions on things to see in Pittsburgh let me know.

This is just a friendly reminder that if you are thinking of going to Flash on the Beach, which you should be, that ticket sales end tomorrow.

There is only a few handful of tickets left so hurry now to get your place sorted out!

We recently worked with A&E to make a Viking Quest game to promote the upcoming season of Entourage. http://vikingquestgame.com/

The video is of Johnny Drama ranting about how he isn’t getting any royalties from the game and he is pissed. It’s pretty hilarious and was a lot of fun to work on. Entourage premieres September 7,10pm.

The IDF keynote that we were apart of is up online. It was my first IDF and I have to say I had a lot of fun.

Fast forward to 26 min and you will see Warren our CCO.

I am just getting ready to walk into the rehearsal for the Keynote tomorrow morning on Intel Mobile Devices. We are going to be presenting in the first keynote in the morning and we also have a booth downstairs in the MID showcase section. If you are here stop by and say hi.

Tickets for the very first FlashPitt are on sale now. I will be speaking this year and am excited since it’s the first one and it will also be my first time in Pittsburgh. There are a few speakers announced on the site and it looks like there will be a pretty good lineup. I will be presenting on Physical Computing in Flash. It will be similar to the presentation I gave at Flashbelt this year but I have been working on some new samples that should be lots of fun.

We released our first iPhone game today with the release of the new iPhone. It’s a pretty simple game that uses the accelerometer as the controls. We really wanted to get something up there for the release and worked really hard over the last few weeks. Here is the link to the game.

I am currently sitting in the Chicago airport waiting for my delayed connection to Minneapolis. Seriously though does any flight leave here on time?  I am super excited for Flashbelt as I am every year. There is just a great vibe that surrounds this conference which I think is directly related to it’s small and intimate size. I’ve been having a lot of fun over the last several weeks preparing for my presentation. I will be giving a beginners guide to getting Phidgets and Arduino to talk with Flash. I am hoping to show people that it’s not that complicated to get up and running quickly and get some really simple examples running. If you have experience with Phidgets or Arduino then the session may be a little basic, but hopefully you can be inspired by some of the examples I will show. If you are attending the conference feel free come and say hi, or sing a duet on Wednesday night at Nye’s.
