		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s something incredibly cool about chatting online with completely random strangers. I used to do it quite a bit when I was a kid [ed: I know some of you would argue that I&#8217;m still a kid; really, you&#8217;re welcome to your opinion, but as I pay taxes and have kids of my, whether I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Koobface: 1, CEO: 0</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Got an email this morning with info on a &#8220;virus&#8221; that has been being propogated via Facebook. Koobface. What a name for a virus. Usually, I make a mental note of these things so I can avoid them, but for some strange reason I decided to read the whole email and encountered this gem:

		<title>If you don&#8217;t have it, you&#8217;re in trouble&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I bumped into a friend of mine on the way into work this morning. I&#8217;d heard that she&#8217;d recently started a new job (really, I&#8217;m a Facebook stalker&#8230;much easier to keep up with friends like that - no need to actually have a conversation&#8230;), and I was curious how it was going. Her reply (paraphrased):
&#8220;It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ensemble Tofino: Flex/Actionscript in Visual Studio</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For as long as I can remember (please, no snide comments from the peanut gallery - yes, mom, I mean you), I&#8217;ve wished for Actionscript support in Visual Studio. Fed up with the Flash IDE&#8217;s inability to keep up with the capabilities of other modern IDEs, over the years I&#8217;ve turned to various external editors [...]]]></description>

		<title>When Copywriters Try To Program</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not that I'm against a bit of cross-pollination, and I certainly enjoy the occasional ad that speaks to my inner (and outer) geek, but if you're going to do it, do it right. Case in point, the Axe ad to the left. On first look to most people it probably seems funny, if perhaps a [...]]]></description>

		<title>flash.media.SoundMixer: All your sound belong to us</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seems the SoundMixer class is a singleton. And a big one - it exists across multiple swfs and domains. Which leads to a bit of a problem.
For example, open the following urls in separate tabs in Firefox (allow the first to fully load before opening the second):
AFC Components: Reflection
Joe Satriani
That's what I did, and (assuming [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Constants Just Do Not Replace Enums</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(Or, one of the many things that ticks me off about Actionscript 3...)
Seems like every time I talk about Actionscript, I'm ranting about something or other that's just ticking me off. I have to start posting about the things I love about it. [ed. I started this post a long time ago and haven't gotten [...]]]></description>

		<title>More Visualization (Papervision 3d + 2d lines)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The lovely thing about the way I've built these is that it's very easy to "stack" visualizations, using either the same spectrum data or unique spectrum data instances (eg: one using the EQ data and one using the standard Spectrum data). You can hook up individual visualizations to these and have them render independently. In [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another Visualization + Papervision 3d [updated]</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thought I'd try throwing Papervision into the mix (haha, pun not intended). More traditional, a bit cooler, have to add some textures in, but this'll do for now.
Updated with new colours, blocks are bigger. Thanks for the input, Marc.

		<title>More Visualizations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A bit more traditional this time, variations on a theme. Still not quite what I'd like to see from myself, but with limited time to devote to this, mainly scramblings on the subway, I'm not too disappointed.
They're a bit hefty, and still no preloader, so hit the more link to see them (if you're not [...]]]></description>

		<title>FlashinTO Audio Visualizer Fun (+ Jessica Alba)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dayton over at Indus Blue is running a little contest for next week's FlashInTO gathering. Given a template, build an audio visualizer in Flash.
I've got two so far. Nothing unbelievably special, just wanted to have some fun with it. Check 'em out below. (Sadly, no preloader...give them a chance to load...)
ed. - there's something weird [...]]]></description>

		<title>Silence is Golden (and a little ImageMagick)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Man. It has been too long.
Been busy. Obviously. New kid, new job, new haircut. Another new year, another birthday (hit the big time this year, too...wow).
This is me getting back into the swing of things. Lots to blog about. Hurrah!
Bet you're all excited.
This post's fun involves a simple ImageMagick command to convert an animated gif [...]]]></description>

		<title>Robert Jordan, RIP</title>

I am short of words. I have been following his blog since I learned of his ailment. Today I happened to see that the 12th [...]]]></description>
