Google and NASA

I came across this article today. Google and NASA have signed a collaboration agreement. Things could get very interesting!

My hope for a complete Google Moon (not the Apollo moon landing version), Google Mars, Solar System, etc. in the style of Google Earth may soon come true. For the majority of us who will never get a chance to actually explore our solar system firsthand, this would be a spectacular alternative. We may all have the chance to be interstellar explorers soon.

My mind is buzzing. So many possibilities!

Flash 8 is here!

I'm excited about the release of the Flash 8. I downloaded the trial and can't wait to play with the new dynamic transfer and blur effects.

I'm bummed to notice that there's an issue with dual monitors when setting up custom Workspace Layouts. I like to keep most of the panels on a second monitor out of the way of the stage. I arranged the Actionscript, Timeline and Output panels on a second monitor and saved. Then restarted Flash or just switched to one of my dual monitor layouts, the panels jumped back to monitor 1. I'll keep playing to see if I can get them to work. The customizable Workspace Layouts are very convenient when switching from animating the timeline to stage layout to Actionscript development. I'm not giving them up without a fight.

If you've found the same issue or have a workaround (besides buying 1 enormous monitor) let me know.

I Always Knew I Was Warped

This is cool. Found this on digg.com. I guess I'm warped, I'm one of the 2%! Now I have evidence. Here's the link (http://www.vsg.edu.au/grafndx/weird.htm).
