(flash + skateboarding) * 3D = awesomeness

Checkout this awesome little flash game built on papervision 3D. Its a very simple idea but pretty effective, lets hope he keeps the development going and takes it to the next stage. If I was this dude, I’d try and market the idea to Tech Deck.

I have added the iTube source files to googlecode svn.

The current dev version has a fullscreen and link to youtube page feature. I still haven’t been able to get the syncing feature to work. The widget crashes everytime I try and send the audio time to flash using SetVariable

If anyone is interesting in contributing to this project, let me know and I’ll add you as a member on googlecode.

It amazing what you can accomplish when you don’t work. My new portfolio of selected flash and front-end development sites I have worked on over the past few years is now online. For all the geeks: there is a link to the actionscript 3 source. The link is in a not so obvious but logical place, have fun finding it.

I’ve just moved to Vancouver from Australia.  Before coming here I read guidebooks but there is always a bunch of stuff that you notice when you first move to a place that you would never read in books.  I’m not sure if these things are particular to Vancouver, Canada or North America, either way they are just weird.

Apparently gears on bike just ain’t cool any more. Not wanting to be left out the funky bike gang, I picked up an old Raleigh 7-speed last weekend. I took it down to Our community bikes in East Vancouver, the bike mechanics down there are awesome. For about $10 a hour they showed me how to strip out the old components and convert the hub to a single speed. The bike flys now. Here is a summary of the…

I have released an OS X widget to search then play the music video to the song you are listening to in iTunes. Check the itube page for details.

EA Skate rocks! Its by far the best skateboarding game since Tony Hawk 2. The feeling of control you get from the flick it system and the satisfaction of landing a hard trick mimic the feeling you get when landing your best trick whilst your really skating. I suck at real skating, so rather than put all my efforts into that I’m redirecting my skills towards making Skate 2 better.

• more skate styles eg Daewon song style and Stefan Jokanski 360 flips.
• would be cool if…

Here is an idea I had for a portfolio. It’s a 3D cube built in papervision to view the websites screenshots. The result was a bit naff so I never developed it further. It was a fun use of Papervision3D and as3 though. Papervision is surprisingly easy. Source is here for anyone that wants it.
