Calling All Nerds – Flex Camp on July 27

Posted on 5 July, 2007 at 3:27pm with no comments

There are times where I reject my nerd-dom, and then there are times where I embrace it. I am making a concerted effort to put increased emphasis on the design in my design technology title. Still, I am greatly looking forward to going to the Flex Camp hosted by Adobe on July 27. The event is free and I have no doubt that I will learn a tremendous amount about all the Flex 3 has to offer. Additionally, there are many nuances to Flex that I have yet to pick up on – thus, I will take advantage of any free learning conference I get in.

If you are interested in Flex, and are in the San Francisco Bay Area on Friday, July 27, you really should sign up for the event. Once again, it is completely free and you will learn a whole lot.


Some Random Dude – Now With 50% Less Nerd!

Posted on 16 March, 2007 at 12:55pm with 4 comments

This blog has been going through quite a metamorphosis in the past few months as I continue to look for that “right place”. I am personally becoming much less interested in the nuances of front-end programming and much more fascinated with the 50,000 foot view of design on the web, the inner-workings of web communities and the future of media in the internet-age. I will begin to focus much more thought and writing towards these sorts of subjects and spend much less time on subjects such as web development and even Flash to a certain extent.

I have been putting a lot of time and thought into web community, media and how people interact with them and I feel I have a lot to share. In addition, my hope is to begin moving out of the trenches of design/development and start becoming more involved in these subjects in my career as well. This shift is fairly easy to do in a blog, but not so easy to do in my career. My hope is that this thinking and writing I do on the subject will act as a catalyst for my own personal growth.

This blog has been an unbelievable channel of learning for myself since day one. I cannot wait to see what people teach me in the upcoming months. I am really looking forward to a change of topical venue – I hope you are as well.
