I just tweaked my Recipes page a bit, to add an iPhone CSS file. It basically just detects the iPhone and makes the font bigger. I also cleaned up the page a bit, removed the obsolete search methods and just left the Google search.
I plan to sprinkle some more iPhone awareness throughout the [...]

In case you missed it, Adobe has released Photoshop Express. Express is basically a Flex based version of something like Flickr or SmugMug, and so far, looks promising.
It doesn’t really have the feature set to compete with the existing sites yet, but it’s only a first release and it’ll be interesting to see where [...]

I use Google Blog Search to search for the name of the product I work on - LiveCycle Designer - and then subscribed to the search feed using Google Reader.  This takes any blog mention of LiveCycle Designer and adds it to my Google Reader feed.

After last week’s Flex Immersion, I installed the Apollo extensions for Flex Builder, and started experimenting with that to see how it all worked. It’s actually quite seamless - very similar to building SWF based RIAs in Flex Builder, but with some extra capabilities like the File object that lets you do things with local [...]

My team at work spent the last week on Flex training.  I’ve dabbled in Flex, but it was great to be lead through a lot of different areas of Flex, and more importantly, to spend a week in an IDE writing and thinking about Flex and ActionScript.
Meanwhile my RSS reader is flooding me with news [...]

Check out this excerpt from Jeffery Snover’s post on the PowerShell Cheat Sheet:
Given that I posted it a week before the Office 2007 launch, it turned out that not many people could read that so I posted it in PDF format as well.
It now turns out that the corporate direction is to use XPS [...]

I added a couple of simple features to my Flex sample:  Binding, and centering the window.
Run the Sample
By adding the viewSourceURL attribute to the Application tag, I’ve enabled a View Source menu item on the player’s context menu, so you can see the source just by right-clicking and selecting that.  This is Flash trying to [...]
