StreamingMedia.com article on Flash’s 10-year Anniversary
"We're trying to focus on telling the story of how some of these things came to be, celebrate where we've been, and focus on the future," says Mike Downey, senior product manager for Adobe Flash.
Do you ever read one of your own quotes and think to yourself, "man, I thought I was a lot more eloquent than that…"
Never-the-less, Geoff Daily of StreamingMedia.com has written a nice article about Flash’s 10-year anniversary. I had the chance to chat with Geoff over the phone a few weeks ago and was impressed by how much he knew about Flash video.

I’ve been here a long time and never been as excited as I am about what we’re working on right now."

Not strictly related, but I recall hearing that brilliant Nectarine - http://www.nectarine.com.au/ - had created another cartoon for you to celebrate the 10 year anniversary.
Has this been publicly released yet?
