2006 Awards

Last year was definately busy. I have posted my 2006 awards to the site and I'm looking for more to come next year! :D
It's been a long time...
2/15/2006
Well it has been quite a while since my last update here. I have been working on some collision detection with flash. As of now it is a simple pong like game but I have high hopes for my new found knowledge. Recently I have been working with Bonne Bell the makers of Smackers. I'm helping them launch a new site which is very cool and has been fun to work on. I will be posting more information once the site is live, until then c-ya!
Spirograph Test
12/19/2005
This little experiment of a spirograph drawing. I wanted to make it decently fast so I dipped my toe in to the bitmap capabilities of flash 8. The source code is also available through the fun and games page.
Maze Game Demo
11/26/2005
I created a simple maze game partially based on some concepts I found at oos.moxiecode.com. It is pretty basic at this point but it supports an unlimited(as much as flash can support anyways) size map which is very cool.

The Brain Dump
10/25/2005
I added a new section titled Brain Dump to the site today. It will house various methods I use as well as adding code samples. For the first few items I moved The CSS Crash Course and I created Expandable / Collapsible Navigation Suckerfish Style.
It's Official, I'm Certified
10/19/2005
Today I took the “Flash MX 2004 Developer” certification exam. I passed! And I will be receiving my official certification kit in three to four weeks.
CSS Crash Course
10/07/2005
For about three hours now I've been preparing a document called “The CSS Crash Course”. I plan on adding to this over time to make it a kind of newbies guide to CSS. Later today I'll be taking some people through it to see how it works.
Fancy Flash
10/01/2005
As promised my first test of Flash 8 and some of it's new featues has been posted to the fun & games section along with the source code.
Macromedia Studio 8
9/30/2005
I just received a copy of Studio 8. It is promising, Dreamweaver's support of css layouts is pretty awesome all of a sudden so it really helped speed up some of my work today. I'm looking forward to exploring flash a little more this weekend.
Chomp
9/14/2005
A new game called "Chomp" has been posted to the fun & games section.
