In honor of Samuel Morse’s birthday, thought I’d throw out this quick little “tool”. Now, back to work… [crayon-61744a7214422167031417/]

JG Ballard in Augmented Reality

by Devon O.· April 21, 2009· in Actionscript, Flash, Liberty· 1 comments
Well, I figured it was high time to jump on board the augmented reality train. All the examples I’ve seen have just been amazing and I had to find out for myself just how difficult it was. Turns out, it’s remarkably simple. For the subject matter, I turned to the recently deceased J. G. Ballard. Ballard was one of those remarkable authors that helped shape the course of my life. From the time I first picked up Atrocity Exhibition back in high school, I knew this man was a visionary comparable only, perhaps, to W. S. Burroughs. It’s a real blow to the entire world to have lost him. And, really,  what better figure to place in a “scifi is today” setting? You’ll be missed, Jim. RIP. If you’re familiar with AR in Flash, you know the drill. Print out the little marker file and hold it up to your webcam. You can rotate the image of Ballard using your arrow keys. The little animated ribbon things are courtesy Soulwire. Enjoy.

Social Bookmarking from Flash or Flex

by Devon O.· April 08, 2009· in Actionscript· 9 comments
Seems one of the things I’m asked to do fairly often is provide links to the social apps that all the kids are crazy about these days. Tired of constantly having to rewrite script or look up an api call, I figured I’d sit down and begin accumulating all the basic calls in one handy dandy file. And, hence, came Bookmark.as: [crayon-61744a7219f6d694939230/] Usage is a piece of cake. [crayon-61744a7219f7b837698325/] That scrap of code will open up Facebook in a new browser window to let folks login if necessary or add comments or whatever. While many of the networks don’t require a title to be sent, it doesn’t hurt to pass one to the static post() method – it just won’t be used. On the other hand, if you know the network you’re posting to doesn’t need one, you can leave the title parameter out. I just find it easiest to always send one and not worry about it. Obviously, this script ain’t rocket science, but sometimes it’s the simplest things that prove most useful. If you have any social site html api’s you’re holding out on and want to add them to the list, post them in a comment. I’d […]

FIS Athlone && Warbler Update

by Devon O.· April 05, 2009· in AIR, Flash, Life· 0 comments
Well, my wife’s first installation gallery exhibit came to an official close today. She had a great, albeit stressful, time and the response from the general gallery going public were fantastic. I can now officially say that I’m married to an artist. Can’t wait for the next exhibit.     In other news, just updated my Warbler AIR application to an official 1.0 status. In case you don’t know, Warbler is a little desktop app. that lets you post songs from your last.fm account to twitter with the click of a button. For more information and to download, head on over to the shiny new webpage made just for it.
