Photo Editor with Pixel Bender Effect
I am indebted to the Lynda.com training videos for these ideas and help with the code. In this example (again based on a Lynda.com example), I took the Pixel Bender effect and applied it to a simple photo editor. You can now upload your own photo (keep it relatively small) […]
Read MoreWhat is this?
One must be very specific in their answer. It deals with my Tweets. It is not a tag cloud (or a tweet cloud). It does have a specific term. If you think you know the answer, send me an email with the URL where one can create these. Hint – […]
Read MorePixel Bender Example
Based on another Lynda.com video, I played a bit with bringing a Pixel Bender filter into Flash. This does require a link to the Flex SDK in order to work properly. The filter is brought in as a ByteArray. Examine the linked example and move your cursor over the image. […]
Read MoreFlash 3D cube
I was inspired this morning (after viewing a Lynda.com video) to try and create my own Flash 3D photo cube. Just follow the link (it will open in a new browser window/ tab). My photos were taken in Montana this summer (most at Glacier National Park in July). The bison […]

AdobeMAX (Monday [Oct. 5] – Wednesday [Oct. 7, 2009]) – approximately 4,000 people attended this event.

Monday, October 5 was the first full day for AdobeMAX. The keynote started late and ran over about an hour. The rest of the day all the sessions and labs were off on their starting times. Sigh. Overall, a lot of great material was covered today. We also got a […]

Most of Sunday was spent in several different meetings. Since I started an Adobe User Group in January, I participated in the Adobe Community Manager meeting. I had to exit from that meeting after lunch to participate in a WOW Advisory board meeting in the afternoon. Finally, there was a […]

A Honeywell minicomputer was selected for this initial […]
