I’m all packed and heading out this week to San Francisco. I’ve lived in Northern Virginia most of my life, so this is a big change. I’ll be working for Mochi Media downtown, doing a lot of cool Flash stuff. I’m really excited - there’s a lot of energy in this company. I’m looking forward to getting more involved in the Flash gaming scene. If you live in the area, drop me a line!
Steve Jobs recently announced at the WWDC that the iPhone will be able to allow developers to develop iPhone apps using the Safari browser as a platform (video). “We have been trying to come up with a solution to expand the capabilities of iPhone by letting developers write great apps for it and yet keep the iPhone reliable and secure, and we’ve come up with a very sweet solution.” There’s no SDK, you use web technologies and deliver your apps via the web.
Apple has released it’s latest beta of Safari 3.0 for both Mac and Windows. It’s super fast, and pages look just like they do on my Mac. I tried out a fairly complex DHTML layout in both IE and Safari and you can really see the speed difference.
I currently work at Redmon Group in Alexandria, VA. It’s a great company, with a lot of extremely friendly and talented people. It’s also in a great location - right on the Old Town, Alexandria waterfront. We do tons of really cool work for the web and for museums, most if it in Flash.
It’s a great day for America everyone! Linotype has released a public beta of their stellar Font Explorer X font management software (think iTunes for fonts) for PC! It’s even got the Aqua look. Could this mean PC users will finally have a decent tool for managing their fonts? Oh, and it’s free too!
