Adobe Apollo - Write Your Own Desktop Apps!

Adobe has released a public alpha of it’s upcoming Apollo development software / runtime. This looks to be an incredible technology with wild possibilities. With Apollo, HTML and Flex developers (among others) can write code as they usually do, but then have it compiled into a distributable application that people can run on their computers outside of a web browser. I really expect many cross-platform applications that are generally written in Java or even REALBasic to begin showing up in this environment instead.

Go ahead. Even if you don’t develop, you can grab the runtime and try out some of the sample applications.

Why don't we...

There was an article on NPR this morning regarding the Southern Baptist church and their unwillingness to teach contraceptive use alongside abstinence. I get tired of hearing this argument and it seems as though there is a similar story on there regularly. Why don’t we teach people how to dispose of bodies? We know that some people are going to kill others anyway. Let’s bring together the message of not killing with the message of what to do in case you do.

Nintendo DS Browser - June 4

In a story detailing how some Pokémon game will be the first to tie the Nintendo Wii and DS together, an upcoming schedule sets June 4th as the release date for the Nintendo DS web browser. I’m pretty excited to see how well this Opera browser runs on a DS compared to other available portable browsers.

Jack We Hardly Knew Ye

AIGA has a current article titled Jack We Hardly Knew Ye. It tells the story of the creation of the Cingular and AT&T logos. The Cingular logo (orange X with a head) is of course on its way out as the AT&T brand takes over the new merged company. Its too bad. I think its one of the best logos out there today and really brings a fun and easy feeling to a phone company – which is not fun or easy.
