Flash Camp Atlanta
A couple of things fell together for me in the last few days, and I started thinking about attending Flash Camp Atlanta. I posted on twitter that I was trying to work things out to attend. Turns out an email from David Tucker was just the motivation I needed, and I am officially going. As part of that, I was asked to help out during the Introductory Session by giving a “Introduction To Flex” presentation. There are some great speakers lined up for this camp. You can see a listing of speakers and the schedule here.
I’m excited to be going to ATL. The last Adobe event I attended there was the “On Air Bus Tour” a few years back. My impression of the Flash / Flex community there has always been a good one, and based on some recent Twitter chatter it seems that there are over 200 tickets sold. Should be a great event. If you are in the area, or want to get away for a few days it looks like there are still tickets available.
See you there.

Adobe Max 2009 – Widget
So there is an interesting widget that has been developed by Adobe ( I think the credit should go to Adobe Evangelist Serge Jespers, but I’m not sure if anyone else was involved). The widget displays facts from previous Adobe Max conferences and Testimonials from people. You can even record your own testimonial from within the widget. I thought I’d put the widget here on the site for people interested. Click the “?” button in the top right hand corner to see how to win a trip to Max. You can add the widget to your site or blog by clicking the “Get Widget” button in the bottom right.
Pretty cool widget. I’ve been following Serge on twitter, and know he’s put a lot of work into the project. The end result seems to have paid off.
