I was watching a movie late last night when a sharp light caught my eye out of the living room skylight window. I looked up and noticed the moon was glowing bright, hiding deep behind the bare autumn branches of a tree. I took a closer look and, with a head clear of stress and…

Ribbit has been nominated for a handful of cool sessions for SXSW Interactive next year. This past year, we killed it with our session and went on to win the fabled Accelerator award. In 2010, we’re hoping to present one, several, or all of the following sessions. Help us by voting! Instream Interaction: Dynamic Server…
iPhone game Rock The Rim video posted
I’ve posted a little teaser and instructional video for my first iPhone game, “Rock The Rim”. Based on user feedback and watching friends play, I realize the game may be a little more Wii-like than most iPhone/iPod owners are used to. Once folks catch on how to play, it becomes as fun and addictive as…
Something fisheye: showing off my new kickass lens
I’ve wanted one for years, and I finally picked it up over the long weekend. It’s small, heavy, and helps my camera and I take photos I’ve always wanted to take. Canon does not make a D-SLR fisheye lens (their 15mm is not a digital lens), and so I had to turn to after market…
Discussing the Ribbit acquisition with Ryan Stewart
This video was broadcast live, yesterday, from Ribbit in Mountain View, CA. I really appreciated Ryan coming down for part of the day to discuss the deal first hand and find out the great things in store for the Ribbit and Flash/Flex developer communities. Live Broadcast by Ustream.TV Ryan did a great blog post on…
With Passion and Energy, you’ll make the time

Everyone needs a hobby
Whoever said working at an exciting startup would leave little time for anything else wasn’t too off. Between a book, a one-year-old and being part of a very exciting company in Ribbit, I’ve spared virtually no time for anything else. Sure, I’ve enjoyed (mostly work related and at times exhausting) travel over the past year….
Just posted my MAX speaker session
Last year I had the honor of speaking at MAX in Chicago for the first time. Having spoken at and attended many conferences, appearing at MAX was easily one of the highlights of my career. This year, especially with MAX 2008 being in my new ‘backyard’ of San Francisco, I hope to lead another exciting…
Ribbit announces 650 Flex developers, funding and future plans

Almost every story mentions Flex and AIR as key technologies for Ribbit’s developer platform, reported as having over 650 Flex developers from over 65 countries. Here is a sampling of stories and below that, a…
Ribbit Platform Release Party – Final preparations
One of the easiest ways for an API Flex coder to quantify their work over a length of time is compare asdocs every month or so. I’m preparing for Ribibt’s Platform Release Party, assembling my presentations and one particular slide called “what’s new in beta 2”. Comparing the Beta 1.1 docs for the Ribbit Flex…
