I apologize for the delay on the promised Illustrator tutorials. I had a couple started that I had needed to edit but unfortunately, my iMac has been in and out of the shop a lot lately and haven't been able to get them finished.

The good news is I have a brand new iMac and just got everything reinstalled and setup again. I should be able to post some videos soon.

As the battle of the cloud players ramps up, I have been slowly taking a dip into the pool and testing one of the more popular offerings, Google Music Beta. I have had it for a few weeks now and ready to give my first impression of the new beta service.

Just the other day, I was helping a coworker with some ActionScript in Flash CS5 when I was reminded of a lesson I had learned a few years ago. We had animation not working as expected in a .swf and when I looked at the keyframes, I knew instantly why. Read on to see the problem and how to fix it...

I had been using a Motorola Razor which I really liked. I never used the internet side of the cell so I really can't comment on that but the camera had nice zoom and effects to use and it took movies, played mp3s and handled MMS but I didn't have the service. The biggest draw back was the sound output with headphone adaptor was horrible. The phone sounded good if you played it through its speaker however, and held it in hand. So never used the audio player much even though I upgraded memory to 512mb for mp3 storage and had a few CDs loaded on to it. This phone served its purpose well over last couple of years and I liked the compact and sleek flip phone design for portability. It was time however, to move on to bigger, smarter and cooler phones... like the iPhone.
