Oh man I must be a geek because it just took the mere mentioning of ActionScript 3.0 to get me excited! Or am I just a flash geek? Hmm… well I’ll leave that up to you. But none the less we have a new Flash Player 9 Beta with AS3.0 support, as well as a new download from Adobe that allows you to start developing AS3.0 apps in Flash 8.

Learn more about Flash Player 9 here, or download it here.

Ikea deskAfter seeing this guys workstation, I REALLY want this desk. Although for $950 bucks from Ikea Canada, im sure I could figure out better uses for that money.  But when I get a computer system worthy enough (and have some "extra" cash) I'm definately going to use this desk to adorn my workspace.  

Whats so special about this desk?  Well nothing (at first glance) but it has electrical height adjustment at the touch of a button!  Basically if you want to work sitting or standing, the choice is truely yours.  Awsome.

Okay Microsoft. Ditch the dinosaurs and start pitching ad’s like these and maybe you’ll start to win back some of those students your scaring away to join the rebellion (open source!).

I bet that headline caught your attention. It actually WASN’T a ploy just to get you to read this post. I actually do have a link to a bouncing boob (sorry breasts) simulator! This is a really cool link on two fronts; 1) The obvious… bouncing boobs BUT 2) It’s also an amazing use of flash! The intro is really well done, and the fact that they figured out how to render 3D bouncing boobs is beyond me! And just to show you how much i care….. i’m going to put the link after the break! muhahahaha!

Jay Illustration

Arguably one of my absolute favorite illustrators. Jason Scott from AppleOptionShift is an Adobe Illustrator master! Go and check out the site, and let me know in the comments which one is your favorite. The bar fly with the pint of Guiness pictured above is by far my favorite!

(Full disclosure: This IS a shameless plug. Jason is actually my best friend. That being said, he is STILL a fantastic illustrator.)

(I’ve also added AppleOptionShift.org to my blogroll so this will hopefully encourage Jason to start UPDATING his website) :)
