Justifying Flash: Why it Does, and Should Cost More

I’ve been asked quite a number of times in the past why flash websites are generally more expensive than html websites.. I can point out quite a few reasons why but I think I would be better off discussing the just main points.
In layman’s terms a pure flash website is generally more expensive because it’s [...]

Adobe Creative Suite 4 - simply a must for designers

I’ve only been able to see the adobe flash cs4 from one of those vlog (video blog) sites, but judging from what I saw, I think it is generally safe to assume that photoshop, illustrator, indesign and all the rest have gone through a major upgrade as well….
All right, so based on the Adobe Flash [...]

I think my brain is dead….

Frustration is the word I’m looking for…….
I think my brain officially died today, October 4, 2008, 9:34pm.
Diagnosis:

Too Much Coding For a Day
Stay Clear of Action Script
XML is just a text file, but using it to load information can kill your brain
Lack of Coffee in my System (I can use the extra mileage)
If you are a [...]

What made me go back to work?

We all have complains in life, as we have in our jobs…. it doesn’t pay enough, it’s too complicated, it’s boring, I’m too good for my work……. the list will never end… believe me I had A LOT of these a few months back…. what changed my perspective about work? Simple, a line from one [...]

Work Hard Play Hard

I’ve always been fascinated with the Japanese culture, how they seem to just work work and work… to a point that their western counterparts have been lead to believe that these guys (the Japs) don’t have a life outside work at all, which may be correct to a certain extent - depending on how you [...]

AS3

Talking about actionScript again eh…?!? OOP has never really liked me from the very beginning but I guess this time I have no choice do I..?? Although getting forced to learn something is always such an effortless feeling plus the fact that it’s not at the expense of my personal time (well at least half [...]

One step at a time

Taking things much slower now….. one step at a time to be more exact….
What changed my mind??? I’d say a lot of factors but mostly the degeneration of the IT industry here… don’t take me wrong, Information technology has got a long ways to go before it can even reach its full potential, I’m just [...]

India is making it bad for the Web… and for IT

I don’t mean to accuse a country such as India, because I would definitely agree that it is one of the best countries to outsource Information Technology jobs nowadays, for two very good reasons…
(1) because they are very cheap (labor)
(2) because the work they do is not at all bad, some even comparable to better [...]

Testing Image

Here’s a vector car design created about a year ago….. actually it’s not yet finished, because if you give it a close look, you’ll notice that the car doesn’t really have a headlight…. (postponed it since I had a difficult time creating that part - retired it ever since) until I find the time (and [...]
