Here’s one that took me ages and ages to work out, so I hope you find it helpful. When I first set up my google calendar on my iPhone, only one google calendar was being shown. I use my google calendar at work, my colleagues share their calendars with me and we all know who’s [...]

Apple’s web designer
Here’s something I always wanted to know: Who designed apple’s website?
Today I came across this information by chance, while researching on skinning flex components (the results of this research will be another post).
So, turns out the guy is called Jason Wilson and you can check out his rather impressive porfolio here: http://wilson.tv/

Flash Chroma Keying
This is some pretty amazing stuff by Mario Klingemann (Quasimondo). You can key in real time so you can point your webcam at a uniform background and knock it out on the fly. This is pretty old and written for flash 8 so performance is not what it could be. Once this is ported to [...]
