FITC Amsterdam 2010 was my first “big” Flash conference I attended. So far I just knew some of the big names from their blogs and websites, so it was great see and listen to them in person. ps. The picture above is from ISO50’s session.

The Magic Mirror is just a little demo. It’s still not complete. The idea is to add Facebook-Connect so it would know what kind of [spoiler-alert “product”] to show, personalized on your gender, age and so on.. I’m also not sure if there is a company that would want to make fun of their clients (Dove is just used as an example). So this might just remain a little lab demo. Note: If you can’t see yourself in the mirror after confirming in the camera settings, just right-click and pick the right webcam driver.

Well, not really! But Adobe just announced that Flash CS5 will be able to create native iPhone apps. WOW.. that’s big news.

This radial Flash menu is dynamic and can get changed trough an xml file. But of course it doesn’t fit all situations. It has its limits with adding a lot of items or long names.

PS. An additional feature (not implemented in this version) could be: You can spin the wheel and where it stops, that’s where it navigates to. Like a wheel of fortune. So you randomly navigation trough the site. Not really good usability, but fun. Hehe..

tocch provides specialized coaching, training and consulting services. There was a pretty tight deadline for this project, so I tried out the Gaia Framework for the first time and it went pretty smooth. Can you see the speech bubble hidden in the logo? It’s in the negative space between the two C’s. It matches well because the name sounds like “talk” and they are about communication.
