The BikePOV. Adobe AIR + Arduino + Blinking lights on a bike

2 Comments Posted by on August 4, 2011

So, for the past month I have been working on a side project called the BikePOV.  If you have been reading my tweets, I’m sure you’ve picked up on my cursing, explaining and working on making it work.  This evening I finally got everything working just the right way — and it actually works! So, [...]

I’m Speaking at Adobe MAX!

4 Comments Posted by on July 27, 2011

This year I was lucky to be selected as one of the speakers at Adobe MAX 2011!  I will have a session that will talk about integrating various hardware products with Adobe Flash, Flex and AIR.  Most of my talk will revolve around using the Microsoft Kinect and Arduino based (and other AVR) projects as inputs and outputs from [...]

As a teacher

Leave a Comment Posted by on May 14, 2011

I, in general have been very quiet in the technical front as of late.  This last fall one of my very good friends and mentors Ron Choura passed away suddenly.  After loosing another close mentor of mine this just the year before it hit me really hard.  Both Ron and Dr. Muth were instrumental in my [...]

Debugging on embedded systems with AIR (including Adobe TV)

3 Comments Posted by on December 31, 2010

One of the projects I was recently involved with had me setup an unsusal enviroment — debugging an embedded device that ran Adobe AIR.  There are not a whole lot of specifics that I can talk about for that particular project, but one of its aspects I can talk about — debugging the AIR and Flex [...]

AIR for TV — The Virtual Keyboard

1 Comment Posted by on November 28, 2010

As I’ve been porting some of my AIR for TV applications over from Flex, one thing I quickly realized was that I was missing a way to get user input.  While AIR exposes all the remote buttons as Keyboard events, there is a real disconnect if you want to accept alpha based input (most remotes [...]

Adobe MAX write-up

1 Comment Posted by on October 31, 2010

I’ve just come back from this year’s Adobe MAX conference, and oh, boy was it a whirlwind! I fell that Adobe outdid themselves this year and set the bar much higher.  I guess being in the same location more than one year in a row lets them concentrate on content rather than logistics. The theme [...]

OAuth and Flex/AIR — Making Twitter work again.

5 Comments Posted by on July 20, 2010

Quite a while ago I posted an entry on how to make a quick Twitter Client.  Over the past few months, Twitter decided that basic authentication was no longer the best way to go, and they needed some way to help users protec their accounts.  Their solution is the OAuth protocol, which is now required [...]

Three strikes, and your out Apple!

5 Comments Posted by on April 9, 2010

In the past few weeks, there have been disappointment after disappointment coming out from Apple for developers.  While the iPad seems to have made a big splash news-wise, its release has been lightly overshadowed by some other announcements from Apple — the iPad will not allow Flash, Java or Silverlight content within the browser.  In [...]

Hardware Hacking with Flex and the Arduino

3 Comments Posted by on March 28, 2010

This weekend I had a chance to play some more with the Arduino that I got at 360|Flex.  I’ve got so many ideas of things I want to build with it, which is probably a bad thing.  I’ve got $60 worth of parts coming from SparkFun just so I can play with more than a [...]

How to get hired : Resume Tricks

1 Comment Posted by on October 23, 2009

I currently have three close friends that are all looking for jobs (thanks economy!), and are seeking my help with their resumes. Since I’ve been in the hiring position a lot in the past few years (both at small businesses and MSU, an enterprise), I’d like to share some of the tips that I’ve been sharing [...]
