Blast from the past

Here is a very non-technical blog post... It's a blast from the past. My friend Todd friend and I were discussing the good-old-days of playing music before getting neck-deep into the realm of technology. I did a Google search to see what I could find, and I managed to find two videos of my old band from 1998. Check it out:

An original song...



A red hot chilli peppers cover...



I was lead guitar (electric guitar, blue shirt, on the left).

Enjoy!

CAPFUG Presentation Online

For anyone interested, here are the recordings for my presentation at Wednesday's night’s Capital Area Flex User Group ... or CAPFUG.

I gave the same presentation that I did at MAX, however I had more time so I went into further detail. The presentation is called AIR++, and is about pushing the limits of what you can do with AIR.

Part 1 shows some application demos and goes through code examples showing shared sessions/single sign on across web and desktop experiences. Part 2 shows hardware interaction techniques through a Java middleware tier (reading GPS from USB and visualizing the data in AIR using Merapi). Each one is about an hour long, so be sure you have time to watch them.
