Part I
Kevin Lynch presents the Flashforward keynote. He covers the performance and penetration rate of Flash Player 9 and touches upon the open source Tamarin project at Mozilla.
ActionScript 3 features heavily in the keynote, with demonstrations of E4X (ECMAScript for XML) and Regular Expressions.
Kevin also demonstrates a couple of cool RIAs like Picnik and Buzzword. The video-heavy HBO Voyeur site is also shown.
Stay tuned for Part II...
Flashforward Boston was wonderful. I had a great time presenting my session, documenting the event, and talking with fellow speakers and attendees. I'm going to be editing and publishing more videos from the events in the coming days.
Right now, I'm about to pack away my remaining few items and head out to band practice. Band practice? What band? Hmm...

I was lucky enough to snag some interviews with fellow speakers and Flashforward attendees during the Expo Hall Welcome Reception on Wednesday.
I spoke to Philip Desenne from Harvard, James Forest from Peabody Essex Museum, Sean Higby from Walt Disney Internet Group, Magnus Johansson from The Nobel Foundation, fellow speakers Mario Klingemann, Michelle Yaiser, Jared Ficklin, and Craig Swann, and, of course, my wonderful girlfriend, Stephanie.
