The 2012 London Summer Olympics are less than 3 months away so it’s time to start thinking about what sport will fuel the next Drinking Game. During 2010 we celebrated the Vancouver Winter Olympics with the Canadians by turning Curling into a drinking game that became a runaway success on Twitter. Thanks to those big ol stones and plenty of beer, we fell in love with curling and more importantly the ladies of curling. Read the rest of this entry

SURVEY SAYS!


Every year, the apartment community I live in, sends out a survey for residents. It’s pretty much the same survey every year. Despite what people answer, the quality of the community stays the same. So this year I decided to have some fun with the comments for each section.

Clearly I’m funnier than anybody else thinks I am.

Incredibox Beat Box


Last semester I took  an Intro to flash class and discovered all the amazing things that could be done in this tremendously versatile program. From basic animations and web pages to incredibly rich interactive web apps and games. It’s a program that is completely open to your imagination. Think it up, and you can do it…given you have the knowledge and AS3 coding experience needed. None the less, with a fairly basic knowledge, you can create some pretty awesome animations and web pages.

Enter Incredibox

I am sure there is a lot of scripting going on here but it just shows you that if you can imagine it, flash can do it. From what I learned in Flash, with a little AS2, you can do a lot. I won’t get into the details of how to do this as that would be an entire semesters worth of  information. But I am fairly confident I know how they did it and what kinda scripts were used.

Flash is a Wonderful program!
