So I’ve been frequenting creativecow.net and answering questions there.  As a way to help out that large audience and to keep me sharp.  It’s nice to have answers to questions but it’s also fun trying to figure out how to do things. Projects are often like a big puzzle that you use tools (Flash) to put together. And I like puzzles.  Join me online if you want!  It’s a great resource.

Here’s an interactive map I created for National Geographic.  The thing that was probably trickiest concerning it was not navigating the large map, but having the small map move and scale with the large map.  It’s also XML driven with the XML containing the latitude and longitude data, so I had to do some conversions there.  Pretty tricky but the results are nice.

You know you’ve heard this phrase for years, and now you can rock out to it.  I love this track.

The most exciting ones by far for me. The CS3 editions of After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Soundbooth will be shipping this summer, and they’re available as pre-release downloads from Adobe Labs.

Now that CS3 is out in the open, some users are a bit overwhelmed with all the options and upgrade paths available. The new CS3 Product Selector will walk you through how to choose the appropriate upgrade not only based on what you want to do, but also based upon the products you may already own.
