FITC Hollywood discount

As I posted before, I will be speaking at FITC Hollywood in a few weeks, and the good people over there just sent me a code good for a 10% discount that I can share with you all.

Discount code: HD777

It is always a great event. Good speakers, good parties, good times.

AIR Bus

It has been a good couple of days in Boston at Flash Forward, where BSS was awarded a rubber arrow for the Nike Air site which was the winner in the Commerce category.

Later today I’ll be hopping on the AIR Bus and heading back to NYC. Check out the site and maybe you’ll catch a glimpse of me on the live video feed destroying all who dare challenge me at Guitar Hero.

Upcoming Appearances

I will be in Boston for Flash Forward next week, making a cameo in the keynote on Wednesday morning, and hopefully bringing home a rubber arrow or two.

Jamie, Mike and I will then be heading to Chicago for Adobe MAX, where Mike and I will be giving a presentation about BSS as part of the “Inspire” track, and I will be sitting on a panel with Mike Downey and Grant Skinner, among others, talking about AIR.

Next stop for me is FITC Hollywood where I will be speaking about BSS.

If anyone is at any of these events, please don’t hesitate to track us down and say hello.

Adobe Flash Player Version Penetration

It’s interesting to see how quickly things move forward… might inspire some to begin learning AS3. It inspires me, anyway.
