More ways to stay updated in general. Google has been in beta for a while with their new News search service. Now its really starting to cook having added more than 4000 news sources, and is challenging a lot of other news gathering services. So now it shold be even easier to stay updated on the lastest Macromedia Flash News

Its only a short while ago since Jeremy Allaire launched his own weblog based on Radio (are we seeing an acquisition of Userland, the makers of Radio in the future for Macromedia?). Now he has really gotten on the blogging bandwagon with his new Audio Blogger web service (documentation for Audio blogger is currently found on Jeremy’s weblog). Its in alpha right now, but seems to be working quite well – taking advantages of the Flash Communication server. Audio Blogger allows anyone with Flash 6, and a microphone to make

Its nice to see Fast (Alltheweb.com, Lycos, Scandinavia Online, InfoSpace, T-Online, and Tiscali) start to include information gathered from swfs in their search index. From before Google and Atomz have been indexing SWFs for their search engines. Atomz recently expanded their offer of indexing SWFs to their enterprise search engine, used by many company sites, including Macromedia.com and Hotwired.com. (And not to mention by this weblog ;-D [Via Flashmagazine.com]

Nice to see new Flash related weblogs popping up. TodayI noticed that Jeremy Allaire has gotten his own weblog. I have been fortunate enough to be allowed to interview Jeremy a few times. Last time we did a video interview for Flashmagazine.com. But we haven’t been able to release the video on the net – because we don’t have the money to cover the bandwidth. The previous interview I did with Jeremy back in 2001 is still available online. Its scaring how point on I was with many of my
Nice to see that the fund raising for Chris turned out good. Chris has now more or less received the $1250 he needed to be able to attend the Macromedia DevCon. (Check the initial posting if you are interested in the background for the fund raising) Chris has promised that he will be making the speech available online. Either as just plain speakers notes, or perhaps published together with audio from the speech. I hope he decides to include audio recording from the speech – I am sure that would

This is a neat gadget – the SDCam is a camera for Pocket PCs with SD I/O ports. The camera is korean, and the pages are all in Korean, so if someone has a translation of the information posted on the page, I would be very happy to get it :-) The basic info about the camera is: It has a CMOS image capture chip (which should make it cheap to produce), and it can take pictures in 800×600, 640×480 and many other lower res modes. It has 2x and

Its looking good, Chris MacGregor was having problems finding the money to attend the Macromedia DevCon conference to be held in Florida in October, but now he has already collected half of the $1250 he needs to be able to attend the conference. I would have liked to see Macromedia spend some more money on the speakers and cover the costs for them, but failing that its good to see that the commnity is getting together and helping one of its hard working members. Even more gratifying is it to

Photography is one of my favorite hobbies, and besides from finding my inspiration out in the nature, I sometimes find sites with great photography on the net. Private and Public is one such site, made by a fellow scandinavian, the danish Simon Høgsberg. All of the photographs in his “Private and public” project was taken of unsuspecting londoners. To quote Simon: All images are taken over a period of a year – from early summer 2001 to late Spring, 2002 – and apart from the portraits taken during the summer
