I was happy to see Pandora be officially launched on Chumby today! Pandora was my main project while at chumby and I was happy to spend all day listening to music while at work! Developed in Flash Lite 3.0 (Actionscript 2), the chumby music source is fully-featured with station creation, station modifications, song [...]

Whipped up this cute looking Load / Save Dialog for Zero Gear last night with graphics David gave me. It has a pretty large external interface so Brian can customize every button and label in Lua / C++. Hopefully you’ll see it in action in the Zero Gear Garage soon.

The garage portion of Zero Gear will allow players to customize their kart and character. This portion of the game with heavy utilization of Hikari which enabled me to engineer the gui elements in flash and actionscript. We are using the open source Ogre3d to render the characters and environment. Also you will hear some [...]

In my time at Chumby, I’ve made a few widgets on my own time that I wanted to see on my chumby device. All the widgets were written in Actionscript 2 for the Flash Lite 3 chumby device.

I decided to dive into Flex a couple days ago, and I have to say I’m very impressed at how much functionality you can get out of a minimal number of lines of mxml. I was able to build in minutes what would take me hours to code from scratch in Flash. This toy/experiment started [...]

Another short-lived previous version of my personal website. While it had a pretty slick interface which used PaperVision3D and lots of dirty little PHP scripts, the whole site slowly evolved out of a demo I did so the design wasn’t planned at all and it became difficult to add to the site. Rather [...]
