I just wanted to make a post praising the cool things i've been working with with the latest version of Macrome*COUGH* Adobe Flash 8. Real-time image manipulation and motion detection is possible now and makes for some fun times. Now we can all make some cool 60's type rock videos in REAL-TIME using flash. check out this tutorial from my buddy Guy at Flash Guru: http://www.flashguru.co.uk/flash-8-webcam-motion-detection/
Well, Guy and I had a chance to hang out at Flash Forward 2004 in SF. Here is a photo of a group of us chowing down on chinese food: http://www.mediasparkles.com/images/FF2004/dinner1.jpg That's me on the left, Guy in the middle and Lucian (Flash Project Manager) to his left. Really cool dude and quite helpful.
