A quick public service announcement that I have started up a new blog at a new domain (Flashthusiast.com). I'll be blogging about Flash authoring tool there (now that I re-joined the Flash team... by the way), instead of here.
Also, I just blogged about the AIR update as it pertains to Flash CS3 (mostly - where can you get that update??)
Adam Phillips of Biteycastle.com has finished creating yet another amazing animation. His description of it is as follows:
Bitey's short-sighted arrogance lands him in a world of hurt and the fastest creature in the world is brought to a slow, painful crawl.
It's really an inspiring piece of animation - the effects, "camera" work, and characters are simply amazing. I heartily recommend watching it.

I haven't done this in a very long time, but thought I'd share this site. It takes a very long time to load (at least it did on wireless), but at least you get some factual tidbits while you wait. It's worth it - they have their play-doh bunny ad in there, which is definitely worth the wait to see (at least I think so). Especially if you like rabbits.
