		<title>AS4 Wish: Shorthand Eventing with Flows</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One thing I love and hate about ActionScript 3 is the eventing model.  I love the departure from AS2 type callbacks. And I love the way it allows me to have loosely coupled classes.  Anyway, to rephrase and refrain from stating the obvious, I think eventing is awesome.

		<title>Thermo Fireworks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, I&#8217;ve started thinking a little more about &#8220;Thermo&#8221;, especially with MAX approaching.  As much as I love the concept of &#8220;Thermo&#8221;, I can&#8217;t help but be disappointed by its sole union with the Flex Framework. Now, I&#8217;ve never really been a hater of the framework, I just dislike the idea of having to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flash on the Cloud: Lightning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With clients becoming thinner by the day and the desire to cut costs of CE devices, I&#8217;m wondering if OTOY type technology really is the future of experience viewing. For the uninitiated, OTOY enables extremely thin clients to explore rich 3D worlds via server side rendering. Below is a YouTube video of an OTOY demonstration. [...]]]></description>
