Some Personal Philosophy – and Why You Will Not Read About Any Unsuccessful Books in this Blog
I read lots of books. Some of them I don’t mention here. Since one of the topics I have studied and taught is branding and cognitive theory, I know that even a negative review of something will bring attention to it and arouse the curiosity of some to the [...]

My TEDx Interlude
I mentioned I would be attending a conference this week. It was the TEDx conference at Pasadena’s Caltech. The animation above explains, kind of, why I don’t have a bunch of photos. I could leave it at that, but it is not really true. The fact is that in my haste to get ready for [...]

Los Angeles with and without my brain (see previous post if you don’t know what this means)
okay, I had to do a new media piece as I ponder the world of color and sound we create in our brains only (see previous post). You must have Flash capability to see it – so your iPads and iPhones may have a hole where my animation is up [...]

Part 5: . . . and the Flash, iPad and mobile device saga continues: 1 step forward, 2 steps back
In her Insider Comment column in WEB Designer, Issue 173, Stephanie (Sullivan) Rewis states: “Long, Long Ago (in web years that is) we built our code to work in the browser that was currently the leader . . . . Life was tough. It was nearly impossible to make everyone happy.” She then refers to [...]

Part 4: . . . and the Flash, iPad and mobile device saga continues
The WEB is Dead Wired article I mentioned in my prior post reminds readers of the distinction between the Internet and the WEB. An important distinction as we try to grasp our new media roles and the future of all. The Internet is best thought of as a delivery medium – it delivers the WEB [...]

Part 2: The iPAD iPhone Flash Adobe Apple Controversy – this new media author’s take: A Dangerous Retro Blacktop Paved Hole
Steve Jobs is claiming his iPhone and iPad to be the latest in tech, while intimating that Adobe’s interactive content creator, Flash, is something from the past to be discarded by any hip tech person. The opposite is true. The iPhone and iPad are not strong or fast enough to keep up with Flash. Further, [...]

Part 1: The iPAD iPhone Flash Adobe Apple Controversy – this new media author’s take: A Dangerous Retro Blacktop Paved Hole
Silly me. I had it all wrong. Since the early 1980s, Steve Jobs and Apple have sold their wares under the moniker of “User Friendly,” and I thought they were referring to the fact that everyman (and woman) could make use of a computer to create stuff and to accomplish just about any task – [...]

How about if we all were required to create something after we read a book?! The interactive multimedia (Flash) animation I posted below is an experiment and a work in progress. I hope you will check it out and feel free to comment! New media lets me express myself and experiment with all communication forms [...]
