^ Hey DS, what about your move to AS3 ?

How come when I make a post it always follows with a question about AS3 ?

Got the name from a drum n bass CD I was listening to back in 1998 when I started studying design and just stuck with the name… I still have the CD actually

Been about a year since I had some ideas for a new website design and finally got round to working on a few things. Here is an intro video with some of the ideas I had for a 2012 relaunch!

31 years young.. but I feel 21

Good post!

So we have to send Envato an email to set this up? How many characters are we allowed?

But will it blend.. that’s what I want to know

I spent all my earnings on this..

Apollo 17 moon rock

Woah, i think they sold you some black coal for biiig money

Seriously from the apollo 17 mission ?

He’s kidding, I think/hope

Well, hope is kidding to as no one got to the moon till now, so that’s a nice fake rock.

Damn… I better get a refund then

I have a theory, so since Flash is apparently on it’s way out due to lack of support from mobile devices, which is sparking the whole web to change to other mobile friendly platforms to display rich media which Flash use to dominate.. is it possible that this is only a temporary thing, and once mobile devices are fast enough and able to run Flash properly, Flash could make a comeback?

Think of it this way, we all know the popular game Tetris.. now the first mobile phones like Nokia had very simple games initially like Snake, and Tetris etc.. we could play better 3D games on consoles at the time but because of the currently state of mobile phone technology, Tetris is all we could play, but we played it anyway otherwise we’d just be using our phones to make calls and send texts.. Now fast forward a bit and suddenly we can all play more advanced 3D games on our phones which are similar to our favorite consoles games and no one is playing Tetris or snake anymore.

So just like Tetris makes a come back every time we have a new technology in it’s infancy, think the first DOS PC , first console, first portable console, first mobile phone, all of these technologies Tetris re-merged and become popular over the years. Who knows, in the future we might have chips implanted in our heads and can play Tetris which is projected from the back of our retinas… Point is, could it just be that mobile phones and portable tablets are just not technology advanced enough to support the same media that desktop machines can run, like Flash, but over time.. just like the GameBoy became the PSP , this won’t be a factor and we’ll see Flash making a comeback?

Right now it’s just more plausible to change everything on the web to mobile friendly technologies, otherwise you losing out on a huge segment of users, but I think those alternative technologies have a long way to go until they can out do what Flash has achieved in the last 10 years.. Give a few years and running Flash on a iPhone would be a non issue since it would be 100x times faster than it is now. 10 years ago I remember the coolest thing I could do with my phone was to send a text, now I can browse the internet and take video on my phone etc… so I’d say a few years Flash could make a huge comeback.. it’s just that the current mobile phone technology needs to progress a bit. I don’t see why a whole platform should just disappear because of technological latency of current mobile devices.

I think what Apple did was use this technology gap with phones as leverage to cull a big competitor like Adobe making out Flash slows down their technology, but we all know that technology is forever improving exponentially. Apple took that opportunity purely as a competitive business tactic.. If they continue to drag their feet and not allow technologies like Flash to run on their devices – they are only slowing down the progress of technology purely for their own benefit.
