My Thoughts on the Flash Tenth Anniversary Microsite

Whew, busy night for blogging tonight. I didn’t get a chance to check out the Flash Tenth Anniversary Microsite until tonight, but man, it is impressive. Obviously a lot of time went into this thing, and you could spend a couple of hours just looking around within the site. Luckily for you, I’ve summarized my thoughts. However, I can’t guarantee that these will be helpful or meaningful in any way shape or form. Enjoy.

Thoughts while experiencing the anniversary microsite:

The Flex guy is fat and German? ( Nectarine video )

Sweet, Seattle is enshrined in Flash history. (1996)

Mike Jones, I owe you a beer. (detection, 1997)

I was 17 years old when there were 1 million Flash Player installs. (1999)

That’s right, the Pacific Northwest is responsible for great Flash (Robert Reinhardt, Flash Bible, 2000)

Whoa! An actual picture of John Dowdell? Who knew! (Valleywag Silicon Valley hotties, here I come!) (2002)

Breeze 1.0 came in 2004 – Remember that date.

That NTT DoCoMo deal was huge. (2005)

Hey, I think we can all agree that I’m a pretty big MACR/ADBE nerd, but seriously, almost driving your car off the road? That’s just silly. (2005, ADBE + MACR promo)

Buckhannon, West Virginia? Awesome. (2006, sqladmin)

Weak! No Flash Player 9 stats – that would have been a great way to announce it (click on the star).

    I am suprised by West Virigina :) . One, it’s really is a beautiful state – too beautiful to be inside developing ;) . Two, because I come from a coal mining family, I know a lot of West Virgina stories. None involve programming. It’s a very cool app though Kevin.
