I’m working on an Apollo application that provides uploading capabilities for multiple photo sharing sites. This is my initial mock-up of how the application will look. Please feel free to leave feedback in the comments.

May 28th, 2007Canon Digital Learning Center: Travels to the Edge
May 23rd, 2007
Anyone who knows me well knows that I’m a huge photography geek. Well, today a friend of mine forwarded a link to a very cool new site that Canon put together to compliment an upcoming TV show called “Travels to the Edge with Art Wolfe” (Canon is a sponsor of the show). I’m a Canon shooter so I’m finding the site to be particularly interesting and I’m really looking forward to watching the show. I’m also encouraged to see Canon finally step up their marketing efforts. I personally think Canon makes the best photography equipment available, but Nikon is eating their lunch on the marketing front (Nikon also makes great equipment).
On the site you’ll find information about each episode, shooting tips from Art Wolfe and Canon, a collection of amazing photos taken during the filming of the show, one of my favorites – “what’s in Art’s bag?”, and a variety of other good resources.
Check out the site to find out if/when the show will air in your part of the world. I hope they make the episodes available online after the series airs.

- Chris Korhonen (blog): “Apollo bridges the gap between web and desktop application development.” (2:09)
- David Bliss (Odopod): “Apollo makes desktop application development more accessible to creative technologists.” (2:06)

Traveling in Europe this week and next
May 21st, 2007It’s currently 9:30am in Munich and I’m sitting at the “San Francisco Coffee Company” cafe, enjoying some amazing weather, and looking across the street at a Mexican restaurant called “Sausalitos”. It’s almost like being at home.
Today I’ll be dropping in on our Adobe office in Munich to train our local staff on Apollo and our overall Platform messaging. Tomorrow evening I’m headed up (down? over?) to Cologne to speak at the Adobe Live event that takes place on Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday I’ll be speaking at Multi-Mania in Belgium. From there I’ll be headed over to Paris to speak at the Web Flash Festival on Sunday. After that brief stay in Paris I’ll be headed back over to Amsterdam for Adobe Live on Wednesday and Thursday. Then it’s back home on Friday for some rest.
If you happen to be in the same city as I am during this trip, please drop me a line (mdowney -at- adobe.com). I’m always looking for an excuse to expense a few beers with customers. :)
Colin Moock talks about his new book, Essential ActionScript 3.0 (video)
May 15th, 2007
While at FiTC 2007 I had a chance to sit down with world-renowned Flash developer and author of the highly anticipated book Essential ActionScript 3.0, Colin Moock. In the interview, Colin talks about how he almost completely rewrote this edition of the EAS series to make it more approachable to people who are new to programming. He also decided to use more real-world examples throughout the book, instead of more abstract concepts like a “box” class. Check it out on video.onflex.org.
