Resume

Trying something new.
I'm publishing my resume as a web page from google documents.

Check it out here

I think it needs some re-formatting to look alright with a variable width.

Screen Savers

I've always liked looking at screen savers, especially the old Windows 98 ones. Ever since I started working with Flash and ActionScript I've changed the way I see those old screen savers and now I can't help but imagine how I would recreate them.

Well, this is the latest in my experiments... inspired by Beziers

Bezier - Closed Loop - Animated v2 - wonderfl build flash online

Smokey Random Rainbow Path

I wanted to try a fairly new site called WonderFL.net which is a site that allows you to compile your ActionScript 3.0 code online and on the fly.

Here is my latest experiment.

Plans...

I'm thinking of creating a few small components in ActionScript3 to sell on those component sites like FlashDen.net and FlashComponents.net
I wouldn't really be doing it for the money it could make me (10oz would be getting the money anyways), but for the experience and the recognition such things get you.

My other thought, and this really is just for me, is to make a short video tutorial series on getting started with ActionScript 3 and how to avoid programming like an idiot (or a designer). I imagine each video being about 20-30 minutes long and looking similar to the videos at GotoAndLearn.com

If anyone has any ideas or comments on this stuff, let me know. Also, if you have a cool idea for a flash experiment, I would love to hear it. I've even enabled comments on this post just for YOU!

Water Effect in ActionScript 3

Today I took yesterday's experiment a step farther. The above Flash movie loads an image (given in the query string) and applies the ripple effect as both an additive layer (for brightness) and a displacement filter giving us a nice watery looking effect.
