I'm currently finding out what information we're allowed to share about how the avatar works and what went into developing it. The problem is we're so far down the totem pole I pro…

I've been working on the periphery of this project for about a year now (my company created the on screen "avatar" that's shown at Watson's podium on stage) and it's been amazing t…

Tom Henderson (the quieter half of http://mathforprimates.com podcast) has started a Kickstarter project to fund his new math book - Punk Mathematics. If this is what he can do for…

Ah certainly. They are all tools - you use the correct tool for the situation. For entertainment purposes I would want to make sure Flash was in my tool belt.

Ah, but necessary is the key word there. Very little that Flash is used for is necessary, it's almost always about entertainment. HTML 5 is well suited to overtake some of the reas…

Hi! I'm one of the creators (Branden). For folks that are interested - HYPE is a creative-coding framework for ActionScript 3 (Flash). The idea is that there's a lot of power in th…
