$480…but consider that for the noobs a Sunday all day Flex 101 session is included! You need skills to pay the billz…

Wow. This was a great presentation by Adobe Director of Platform Evangelism, Ben Forta. Flex 3 is about to be released publicly and Adobe has gone to great lengths worldwide to promote it and it’s sister product, Air, a new app that works as a desktop application connected to remote servers. Air is something like the Flash player that installs on your machine locally and can accept content locally or remotely. There are already some examples on the Adobe Air pages.

The Flex 3 Builder has until now been available to the public as a beta application. Considering this tour Adobe’s Flex 3 Builder product should be out in a matter of months if not sooner. Also worth checking out are Eclipse and Aptana.

Reagan and I have officially taken up residence in Marietta, GA. Actually, we’ve been here since the 19th of December…almost 2 weeks. Finally got the computers unpacked after a long and unnecessary delay by Comcast. Now it’s time to get back to work!

I’ve added a few web sites to my portfolio page. I plan to continue developing my online portfolio over the next few days and maybe weeks. Some new projects may see the light of day as time allows.

I’m still in the market for work here in Atlanta, so if you like what you see and need someone full time, part time or on a freelance basis, send me a line!

My wife and I are moving to Atlanta…just in time to avoid the Cleveland winter! Anyway, I’m officially in the market for a job doing Graphic Design or Web Design. I’ll be in Atlanta November 19, 20 and 21 for a visit, then permanently in Atlanta December 20th. As you can see, I put my AIGA badge up in the sidebar. Also, a much more extensive portfolio is located here.

I’ve been working at Cleveland.com doing graphic design and web production for the past 19 months. Cleveland.com is the online home of Cleveland’s daily newspaper, The Plain Dealer, and Northeast Ohio’s community newspaper organization The Sun News. I’ve also been busy with my own projects—like this website—implementing CSS and learning PHP, working with feeds and database content. I’m also a print designer and I know a little Flash. It’s fun stuff!

Don’t let this opportunity to hire a great asset to your team get away! I expect to be overwhelmed with offers so make your offer early and make it good! Contact me.

Found this nice little font while reading about RSS feeds on the Wordpress site. Silkscreen is a good font for small text and it is available for Mac, Windoze and Linux. The best part is that it is free to use! (Silkscreen created by Jason Kottke…thanks Jason!)
