After six years of experimenting I decided to capture all the effects and demos into video format. This way first world snobs with smartphones and tablets can view my stuff too. Site is made in flash-killer-HTML5 and it even has some flash-terminator-CSS3 stuff on it. It’s build upon WordPress and involves technologies such as php, mysql, javascript and less.

The content is mostly Flash which is coded in ActionScript 3, Pixel Bender and AGAL. Used Chrome, Firefox and mainly Safari for developing and testing. Photoshop for layout and Flash IDE for vector graphics plus some Illustrator. Screenium for video capturing and Media Encoder for compressing. Videos are streamed from vimeo.com and fonts from Google. I used Coda for html/css/js/php coding, Sequel Pro for database and FDT5 for AS.

Buzzword kids can try to categories that. :) Probably no need to point out more…

Anyway, you can jump between posts with arrow keys and view all flash stuff in HD video. I do recommend that you view them in realtime if you got device with flash player. They are much faster, sharper and small in file size that way.

Now that this project is done I’ll move on to next one.

One day a month ago when I was supposed to start building a particle engine to new Away3D Molehill my mind started to drift into abstract directions. This often happens to me when I’m in situation where I ‘have to’ do something. It can be cleaning the house, traveling to somewhere or in this case where current work doesn’t instantly take wind under it’s wings. Don’t get my wrong I’m still motivated to create that particle engine. It’s just that chemicals and synapses in our brains takes their own tracks producing distractions all the time. I think we should always follow this animal intuition. (in case it doesn’t cause harm to no-one)

Anyway…

The main reason I chosen Nokia as my mobile (E71) was this little gadget WidSets. It was an excellent little apparatus that formatted the web into little widgets. I could easily use my favorite internet data only with few clicks. Stuff like Finnish news, Bus schedules, Wikipedia, Facebook, few internet magazines etc. I have used it something like 3 years about 3-5 times a day.

Few days ago the Corporate decided to close the whole service. It “evolved” into Nokia Ovi Store. What a mother lode of bullshit. Instead of using the service I can now buy some useless little apps. When things comes to marketing there’s one rule above all and that’s: “Do not lose the trust of a customer”. This is what exactly happened here. I don’t know how much the number of users was at this point but few years ago it was 5 million and now they simply killed the whole thing.

Nokia is the backbone of Finnish economics, but fuck’em. I’ll probably select iPhone for my next cellphone. The thrust trust is gone.

… well just wanted to announce that I will probably continue to do so for next decade also. Since it’s the only thing I can do properly.

p.s. There’s still some hours left to participate on 25 lines of actionscript contest at www.25lines.com. :)

Like a typical nerd I tried it out. Found it to be the fastest browser ever. Didn’t included my Firefox settings on it! (huh gl) Tried some of my experimentals with it. (I probably don’t own my flashes anymore…)
After reading this post and many others I unistalled it and will never look back. Google is the evil company.

Shame on you. :(

UpmForestLife
Winner in Webby Awards, Corporate communications: UPM Forest Life

The world is full of ridiculous awards about websites. It gotta be a good business to create a competition and ceremony about web. First you require a fee from companies to get nominated. Full the ceremonies with sponsors and sell tickets for unreasonable price. To get every penny out of it there has to be a book about the ‘winners’ afterwards.

This one is “the Oscar’s of the web with over 10,000 websites from over 60 countries” plaa plaa plaa.

How about sending me and other team members a ticket to New York with Hollywood filmstar type of -treatment in best hotels, personal limusine driver and endless flood of Champagne. Then I would compare it to Oscars other then just another exploitation of idiots. ;)

Ok, that was a bit too harsh. These awards probably helps with the selling and they look nice on workers CV. It’s also a very good way to enlarge the audience for the site. I still think there’s just too many awards on web these days. One would be enough for the global scale.
