So I just finished Fresh Dialogue 2, and I’ve learned something from each one of the interviews:
Kevin Lyons: Are you a vernacular designer? Are you challenging or adding to your (sub)culture or are you just be influenced by it and creating within it.
one9ine: Personal work pays off.
reVerb: Research plays a more important roll than it is often given. Throw out statistical research, and start learning by asking.

I just installed Flash MX, and I’m loving it. The dockable panels and pre-configured panel sets are great. The new ActionScript objects are of course even better. I opened up the Flash 5 file I’ve been working on lately, and was instantly more productive. The ActionScript editor has an awesome code cleanup function and syntax checker. I can’t really list everything—trust me, it’s great.
The other exciting thing is the video capabilities. You can even integrate the users webcam or microphone, which is crazy. Flash is going to be quickly replacing Real Video soon; it actually uses a Sorenson codec inside of the player.
So go ahead: Get the Flash 6 Plugin.

The new version of TCUP will be done this weekend, and online early next week. If you want to beta test it for me, let me know.
