Amongst my many problems is the fact that I am a bit of a pack rat. Not bad enough to be on “hoarders” but bad enough that I have a hard time getting rid of stuff. My studio at home is cluttered with hundreds of books, CDs, DVDs, video tapes, papers and other assorted items [...]
I’m posting this here because it took me more than 20 minutes of googling to find the answer (and I’m an Adobe employee). The Adobe Connect uses Flash and sometimes if you do an update to Flash on your system, Connect gets into a bad state. The way you’ll see this is that when the [...]
If you are planning on attending the AMD Fusion Developer Summit in Bellevue, WA in June, come see me talk about Pixel Bender (probably for the last time!) with Bob Archer.

For the past several years, I’ve been working on leveraging high-performance computing techniques for high-throughput data intensive processing on desktop computers for stuff like image and video processing.

I had fully been planning to make an iPhone application [...]
RIA Screen Layouts View more presentations from Theresa Neil. The deck is a nice, loose, taxonomy of different design styles (some of the examples seem to have multiple styles to me), the examples are really good and actually pointed out some cool sites that I hadn’t heard about.

Peter Wilson spoke at Ignite Seattle last night (How do I keep missing these?!?). Having been a senior dude at both Microsoft and Google, he has some true insider perspective on each.
