Fun & Games in Vegas

Tuesday, March 28th, 2006

Last week i was at Mix 06 in Las Vegas. Big props/thanks to Lynda.com and Microsoft for bringing the usual suspects together to play Halo and party in Vegas. Flash has taken me to see quite a few places in the world, but Vegas is something else.

I didnt see much of the conference, after 3 weeks of late nights and flying in and out of Sydney, Hong Kong and Washington D.C i was pretty wiped out, so some serious sleeping had to be done. I did manage to keep up with the rest of the crowd in the Adobe suite (as it came to be known in the Microsoft camp) thanks mainly to a bathtub full of red bull, alot of which was consumed by me :)

As always it was great fun to hang out with Mike C, Mike D, Danny, Chafic, Grant, Beau, Hoss and Andries. I will of course make a more serious post about my thoughts on the new Microsoft Expression suite very shortly but for now, id like to talk about the fun that was had.

Some new webcam fun

Wednesday, March 15th, 2006

Ive just uploaded a few more webcam experiments that i showed during my presentation at webDU in Sydney. The first one is a bunch of mirrors that creates some cool effects (kind of like a kaleidoscope) and the second one is a 3d cube that you can rotate, the webcam video is shown on each face of the cube.
