I just setup my portfolio homage (visualcondition.com) to just redirect here. That page is so old and outdated it’s not even funny. So until I do something else, it’ll just redirect to my blog for now.

Yeah, I did just write an entry on this one line of Ruby. We’re engaged, Ruby and I, and I didn’t even have to buy a diamond.
Wow, a crap load of new beta software at the Adobe Labs site:
That’s a lot of stuff! Check it out here on Adobe Labs.
So the next version of the Flash Player 10, code named “Astro”, is supposed to be announced today at MAX. Really looking for hardware support here, and speculating some 3D awesomeness. But I just got word from Carlos on the PV3D mailing list that the announcement was rather disappointing. He mentions the top 3 features demonstrated at the keynote, which are:
Apparently the filters are as fast as the predefined ones, and show some promise. I don’t have any idea what “Hydra” is, and a quick Google search came up empty. Carlos also mentions the simple 3D feature was quite disappointing, and that’s coming from the hardcore PV3D developer himself.
So I’m guessing there’s no hardware support, but that’s quite contradictory to what a little birdie told me. So I’m not quite sure what’s the deal with this announcement, but I know they’re working on it somewhere.
I’ll be updating this as the day/week goes on, as I get more details from abouts’ the web, because I’m way too busy to actually attend MAX myself. If anyone knows anything that I don’t, be sure to leave a comment.
[UPDATE]
Some information on Hydra here, thanks Ralph and Zeh Okay, at least we kinda know what it is.
Also I hear that they’re coming out with Flash Lite 3 with video. Exciting!
[UPDATE]
Aral just posted a video of the keynote here. It’s actually pretty neat. The basic 3D properties are nice, and a great step forward. The filters actually look pretty sick as well. And the type, pretty nice as well. I think these are quite nice additions myself.
