When Flight of the Conchords announced it wasn’t coming back for a third season I was a bit sad. I keep hoping Bret and Jemaine will pop up some where (Jemaine did but only in that really terrible movie by Jared Hess Gentlemen Broncos). Mel the crazed fan show up on Modern Family. I thought it really fantatic though to see Murray (Rhys Darby) playing pretty much Murray in an HP commercial.
Apple Just Might Surprise us with Flash on the iPad
February 21st, 2010I see myself as an interactive designer more than a flash developer, but when Steve Jobs comes down on flash the way the internets have been rumoring he has it creates a little concern. That was until the other day when I was surfing the web on my iPhone and I viewed the “Magical” iPad promo video and noticed that the video had been edited since the last I saw it—in which Apple had taken out the flash portions of the New York times web page and replaced it with the blue broken plugin lego block. See below.

The image above was how the video displayed a few days after Apple got some flack that the iPad didn’t have flash support. But upon viewing the video again I noticed that the flash areas were back. See below.

I’m hopeful that the pressure of every other mobile phone and tablet getting flash support in the coming months will force Apple to finally give us the full internet. I’ve seen a few videos of flash player running on Android devices and it’s really exciting to see the possibilities of running flash and flash apps on a phone.
On another note I am back to blogging. My goal was to start again the first of the year, but wanted to do it with style and that meant waiting on my new wordpress theme. Which I need to finish polishing this week, but I’m anxious to start publishing my ramblings to the intertubes. So here you tubes. Cheers.
The Funny things Gem Says
November 3rd, 2009Our lovely daughter says some pretty clever things, and last night was no different. As we drove home from getting H1N1 shots I asked Gem what she wanted for Christmas (help take her mind off the pain the shot caused), and she replied, “a noisy horn.” We started to laugh and I asked what she would do with a horn and she then replied, “I’m gonna stuck it in my mouth and make noise.”
Love her.

I’ve got a feeling that 30 will be a good year for me. Here’s to thirty, flirty, and thriving.

On my drive to work today I saw my old Jeep, and for a brief moment I longed for having her back in my care—I drove that car for years and couldn’t believe it had been over a whole year that I sold that junker. It was quite a nostalgic moment and then I stomped on the gas in the GTI and quickly all the memories of that jeep quickly blurred into the back of my mind (I was lucky to if I ever got that jeep to freeway speeds).
