A little excitement today in the Flash dev community. http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2011/11/flash-focus.html If you read the actual announcement (leaving out the trolling hyperbole), you’ll see that FP mobile is not dead per-se. However, from this day forward, Adobe won’t be branching their FP code to port it to the countless device architecture/hardware configurations… It’ll be up […]
[[A lot of this is stream-of-consciousness and has, as of yet, to be organized into a proper form… expect updates & edits in the next few hours/days….]] Word of warning: In the article that follows, I will use “GSM” and “CDMA” as descriptors for phones and networks. I realize that AT&T’s 3G network is actually […]

I have a new source of time-suckage, and its name is the Kinect. Back in December, someone hacked Microsoft’s Kinect.. allowing computers to interface and receive raw data from the full-body motion/gesture sensing device.

[bk note: the following post was written in November of 2011. As technology continuously evolves, the solution below may very well have changed/become obsolete.] I thought I’d share this little nugget, since it’s not very well covered within the tomes of the intertubes.

Discovered a bug today. One which, best I can gather, occurs only in Safari, with users running OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard). After finally tracking down what the problem was, I was amazed that the bug wasn’t better documented…
For those not aware, in order to create dynamic display ads that don’t look like donkey poo, the developer needs to embed the font-outlines for any and all characters which MIGHT appear in the ad’s dynamic text areas (headline, call to action, etc). For standard North-American english, the Latin I characterset works just fine, and […]
So… My wife & I took a (belated honeymoon) trip to Japan this December. We bought several gifts, but only one for ourselves… a set of sushi plates, saucers & bowls. Things were not intact when we arrived back in Omaha. What follows below is my formal complaint to American Airlines (via their form, which […]

If you have the Google Voice plugin installed on your machine and you attempt to go to a site with Flash that wants/needs to have […]
