New Macromedia Weblog : Christian Cantrell Christian Cantrell, the new Server Community Manager for Macromedia has just launched his weblog. You can view it here. The weblog system is a temporary one that he put together (using CFMX) over the past couple of days (although, I think it is pretty impressive). We are working on a more permanent, long term solution. 10:40:11 PM    comment []  Google It!

Volkwagen uses Flash 6 to introduce new models I just noticed that Volwswagen has launched a new section of their site that has information on their new car models. Of particular interest, is the Touarage mini site, which is done using Flash Player 6. You can view the site here. I have to admit, I am a Volkswagen junky, having had a total of 5 over my driving career (diesel rabbit (first car, slow and loud), vw fox (zippy, door handles fell off), vw jetta (backed into parking garage pylon), vw new beetle (hilary clinton rode in it), vw passat wagon (i'm getting old!)). 10:36:44 PM    comment []  Google It!

DevCon 2002 Orlando KeyNotes online The Day 1 and Day 2 Keynotes from Macromedia DevCon 2002 in Orlando, Florida are now online. You can view them here. The video is done using Flash and the Flash Communication Server. Apparently, this has been available for a little while, but I just noticed it. [via FlaZoom] 2:55:01 PM    comment []  Google It!

Another DRK Contest I am planning on holding another "Find Cartoon Mesh" DRK contest similar to the run i ran last week. However, this time, Cartoon Mesh (or should it be mini-mesh) will be hidden on my blog or one of the other Flash related weblogs. So, if you run a weblog and want to participate in the contest, just send me an email directly, or post your link in the comments section. I'll  get all of the links together, and then start the contest. Also, if you get tired of looking for Cartoon Mike, submit a new character to search for. The prize will be a copy of the Developer Resource Kit Volume 2. 1:43:06 PM    comment []  Google It!
