Happy New Year everyone! Posts are far and few these days. Sorry for that. But all is well, just amazingly busy!
In honor of both CES and MacWorld (sadly Apple’s last) I’m posting a link to a hilarious “spot-on” satirical news piece from the fine folks at The Onion. You may have seen it, but I knew I had to come out of hibernation to share it.

I tried the first version of Flash, “Smart Sketch” and thought it was amazing. It was considered a user-friendly version of Illustrator but it tended to produce overly complex vector images. I set it aside, continuing to use Illustrator.
Then came FutureSplash Animator. I was part of the animation team where I worked, so I was always trying to find something new and cool and this program filled the bill. I thought it was amazing that you could zoom in and out without having to basically redraw each frame (which we were used to doing). Throw in the ability to view these animation on the web and I knew this little company would do great things.
