So I’m currently AT flash forward.  live blogging for the win!  The WiFi in here is really really spotty, so this is probably going to be my only post.  It’s been pretty fun so far, San Fran is a beautiful city.  The convention hall is pretty awesome too.  The keynote is in about fifteen minutes.  They have a pretty sweet computer lounge downstairs, I might sneak in there every so often to throw some stuff up.  Also, Mike Gong says hi.

My current company, in it’s infinite wisdom, is sending about 90% of the creative department to Flash Forward in San Francisco.  Flash Forward is a design, usability, accesibilty, developing (etc etc…) conference that focuses mainly on the use of Adobe Flash.  I’m pretty excited about going.  I’ve always heard about it, and that it’s a lot of fun, but have never had the pleasure of attending.  Before I started this job, I was familiar enough with flash, and used it on occassion, but not to the extent that my new position forces me to, and I’m having a blast learning all kinds of new things.  I’m pretty stoked to go to all the lectures and workshops that I can fit in.  I’ll be bringing a camera, and my laptop, so don’t be surprised if some blogging happens while I’m out there (barring that the hotel/conference area has free wifi).  If you’re going as well, hit me up, I might be able to swing by whereever you’ll be and say hi.  Also, I’ll have stickers to give out.  ONWARD!

(p.s. Scott McCloud is going to be there talking about comics…I’m pretty much nerding out about that).
