Big thanks to Ray ‘Jedi’ Camden for running the CF_Uncfonference. This was the place to be for real CF content for sure! Thanks also to those attending my talk on hooking your shiny new Flex app up to CF. We saw a bunch of code fly buy in about 45 minutes, eh? Attached are the promised files and the presentation. Enjoy!

Thanks to all for coming out and jamming, quite literally, with me on the AIRVJ live talk. We actually got a noiise complaint from a neighboring unconference! w00t!
Many thanks go out to John and Tom with 360 Conferences. Be sure to check out 360 Indy!

me! tee hee! Come check out my session ‘I want my MTV’. I’m going to talk about MTV’s new and very young public API. I’ll have a AIR application that searches videos and artists, finds lyrics, finds related artists, shows some way to buy music you are hearing, and oh yeah…plays videos! Get ready for some ‘Video killed the Radio Star’ at 360|MAX.
On top of all this you will get two free ginsu…you wish.
The application is available to download and install here http://code.google.com/p/airvj/ along with the source code and such. Still a alpha project mind you, more to come hopefully.

A year back I bought a Logitech MX Revolution. The mouse absolutely rawks. Big heavy and ergo. The hyper scroll wheel gizmo is really awesome. You can actually set the acceleration threshold on it too. Well, after a year, its still working just swell, but the finish is starting to peel on it on the right side. I contacted Logitech Support about it. Their contact tool allowed me to upload a pic I snapped of the peeling mouse. Within 24 hours I had a reply asking for my contact info. Another 24 hours and I had three contacts from them: 1) from the support person saying another mouse is being shipped, 2) from their support group surveying my feelings on the process, and 3) a shipping confirmation. Shortly after that came the UPS tracking number.
Yesterday I received the new mouse. The packaging mentioned nothing about returning the old one nor did the customer service rep! Talk about customer service. I’ve never had to deal with Logitech before. I think their products are top notch and this experience has really solidified my thoughts on them. Anyone else have such a experience?

MAX is only a short hop away on the calendar now. Looking forward to meeting some of you peeps out there, some great sessions, some sneak peeks, some big news about…I can’t say, oh yeah, and the free b33r! w00t!
At this years MAX we will see three, no four now, un-conferences. These are free conferences within MAX brought to you by folks you know and love in the community.
Ray ‘Jedi’ Camden will be leading the ColdFusion Unconference with some help from Scott Stroz, hey even a Jedi has to slip out for more free b33r and mini quiches. Please join us for some great topics brought to you by folks like Charlie Arehart, Brian Rinaldi, and Mike Brunt to name a few.
Those amazing wonder twins Tom and John will be activating their powers in the form of 360 and MAX to bring us 360|MAX. Drop by and get your Flex and AIR on for sure. Come see the Merapi Overmen show off some really uber kewl Flex/AIR-meet-Java relationship building. You can grab a chair, if any are left, and hear folks like Juan Sanchez, Laura Arguello, Jun Heider, just to name a few speak on Flex.
FiTC will also be in the MAX house. Head there to catch Ethan Eismann, Lee Brimelow, or Grant Skinner among other Flash Titans.
SoDA will also be there holding discussions on business of design agencies and related topics.
So, there you have it folks. With all the content going on this year, I may just have to escape the hallway cruising and sit down and consume! Yeehaw!
