This is the vlog entry from the first night of Flashforward that I wasn't able to upload because of YouTube's 10 minute limit. Got a few moments so I've split it up into two parts.

This is the actual vlog entry where I look through the FF goodie bag (oooh aaah) and show off my (then) new camcorder (more ooohs) and (as of then unlocked) iPhone.

Flashforward Day 3 is about to begin and I can't wait to see John Maeda's keynote. I saw him speak once before (on simplicity) and loved it. I'm sure this morning's talk is going to be great too.

Technical difficulties: I haven't been able to post as many video updates as I would have liked thanks to a combination of YouTube's 10 minute limit and an annoying hiss with the Sony camcorder I got that almost had me returning it (until we realized at the store that all the camcorders had it!)

Yesterday, I got to interview Kevin Lynch, Adobe's Senior VP and Chief Software Architect on a range of topics including Flash on iPhone, Rich Internet Applications, Adobe AIR, and his recent engagement.

Kevin's one of the most influential folks within Adobe in terms of charting the direction that Flash takes and it's always great to get his insight into things. I hope you enjoy the interview.

OK, so I finally got round to unlocking my iPhone and it's running like a charm on T-Mobile UK. I think the problem I was having before was the WiFi network at the hotel blocking SSH/SFTP traffic (this stopped me from copying over the unlocking app to the phone.)

I opted to use the commercial iphone SimFree solution which I got from iphoneunlocked. Another retailer's site has good instructions for using Simfree on OS X.

I wasn't able to put up my vlog entry from last night as YouTube has a (ridiculous) 10 minute limit on videos and iMovie '08 doesn't automatically split your video into 10-minute parts.

So I'm exporting it now (very s-l-o-w-l-y, it appears) for upload to Viddler.
