I am the Passenger…
I know that Dreamhost (my host provider) has supported Passenger for Rails apps running on Apache, but I’ve only gotten a taste of it lately, as I was setting up my development machine as a LAMP stack with Rails and now Passenger (including the MacOSX Passenger pane). I’m actually quite astounded how quick it is…
DetailsiPad and iPhone gigs…
Apple seems to be really pushing for developers… too bad I’m on the east coast…got this via linkedin:
Apple’s iPad and iPhone Software Engineering division is growing tremendously, so we will be having a job
DetailsAdobe sounds off on iPad….
Well Adobe did have a few things to say regarding the abscence of Flash Player on the iPad demo — but then again Christopher Cantrell wrote an article detailing how to get the multiple resolution out of the Flash to iPhone export…
Facebook thread: quick thoughts on the iPad…
…in response to another colleagues posts about not liking the iPad:
DetailsFlash Player 10.1 on Google’s Nexus Phone
Great video demonstrating Flash Player on the Google Nexus Phone. Now I’ve got to look and see exactly what one can do in regards with Flash and Android.
DetailsJQuery Tutorials
Ah — something else I want to keep track of; from the same site I found the Adobe Air tuts sumup, some great examples of JQuery.

Numerous links to Adobe Air tutorials – getting started, best practices and how to’s — can be found here.
Snow Stack
Really cool 3d interface for those blessed with a Mac, Snow Leopard and the latest Safari – all done via CSS and javascript… More info can be found here.
DetailsPV3D to Unity
No, this isn’t a little chant I’m working on — I see I’m not the only one… Carlos Ulloa – of Flash/3d/MiniCooper fame (how many people getting into Pv3d would just spend part of their day driving that thing around in his banner) — has also been playing with the sweetness that is Unity3d. Unity3d…

Gumbo == Flash Builder
Adobe recently announced that Flex will now be known by Flash Builder; my feelings about this are mixed however. There were many times I had to explain the differences between Flex and Flash (and, saying ‘Flash’ in that sentence I mean the capital ‘F’ Flash CS4 authoring vs the little ‘f’ flash which is the…

Neptune’s Fields: Wax
Recorded back in 1991-ish on my Fostex 1/4″ reel — the drums, mic’d with plastic Radioshack mics, and bounced down to stereo (while in the room with the drums), stereo bounce down of some bass/guitar combo, single harmoica track, 2 single guitar noodlings, and the main vox by Tom was recorded tiny and thin.. so…
DetailsPapervision 3d in Flex
Have to say it’s quite fun — sort of reminds me of the old Director3d — or at the least the stuff that Barry Swan was coding as billboards before Director added true 3d support. I’m writing a class for it for a sort of flipping card interface; I’ve seen this done before in Flash…
DetailsHow I Love You Flex
I’m working on a Flex front end talking to a Crestron backend – and one of the things we’re doing is creating templates of different devices, one being a family of Crown amplifiers, each of which might have 2, 4 or 8 channels of audio to display. Each channel starts out with a Crestron join,…

Just saw this app on TUAW and my fear that robots will take over has gotten one step closer in reality. Â Though that little mechanical friend seems so cute (awww! A tuxedo!) it’s really powerful (as I’ve been claiming our future overlords will be!), as seen in the super capable mits of Jordan Rudess:
