Want to see what goes on in one of sessions before you see it at Adobe MAX? Here you go!

Sören Steinmann recorded my talk at the Flashforum Konferenz in Germany this week and was kind enough to provide me with the raw footage. I've edited it down to a three minute segment with some of the unique highlights from that talk (it seems every one of my talks goes a little differently and I keep adding things to them -- Wednesday's talk at MAX is going to be no different in that regard!)

Rubber chickens, taking bunny ears through customs, my Mario Klingemann fetish... it's all in there!

Oh, and if you're coming to MAX, make sure you don't miss my session there. It's the inspire session titled Rediscovering Fun in room 190b from 4.15pm - 5.15pm on Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007.

I just arrived in Chicago for Adobe MAX. Join me as I take you round my hotel room and marvel at the soap. No, really, the soap! :)

Gal to Gal Walk 2007 powered by SWX PHP

The Gal To Gal Foundation has a new web site and online campaign for the Gal To Gal Virtual Walk 2007. It aims to improve the lives of women diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer and is expected to raise $1m. The site is due to be featured on the Martha Stewart Show on Monday, October 1st to a national audience in the United States. Oh yes, and it's powered by SWX.

I had a great time presenting my session today at FlashForum Konferenz in Cologne, Germany. I forgot to take a picture of the audience but I have lots of video footage to edit and put up in the coming days.

I added a couple of things to the presentation and announced for the first time that Flash 9 support may be coming sooner than we thought thanks to Joa Ebert who made me aware of the hxasm library by Nicolas Cannasse. Porting this over to PHP should provide us with the SWX Assembler in PHP for Flash 9 and thus Flash 9 support for SWX PHP should be just over the horizon. In fact, I'm going to be working on this during my week back in Brighton between MAX Chicago and MAX Barcelona.

If you've been playing with SWX, you will no doubt have heard of Folkert Hielema. Folkert has been very active in playing with SWX since the earliest alphas and he has contributed (and continues to contribute) so much to the project. And now, he's won a Nintendo Wii from Numpa.nl for his Twimpa application.

Twimpa uses SWX PHP along with the SWX Twitter, Jaiku, and Numpa APIs along with Adobe AIR. (Folkert is also the author of the Jaiku and Numpa SWX APIs). Numpa is a Netherlands (Dutch) version of Twitter.
