Designvelopment is a term I use to describe how I'm switching constantly between a sketchbook, code, and pixels, blurring the line between creative and logical thinking. This site is meant to be an outlet for my thoughts as an interactive designer and developer, as well as a resource for others in this field.
Thanks for reaching out to me. I'll be in touch as soon as possible.

Macromedia Flash content reaches 97.3% of internet viewers. If you can watch a website with Flash, you can watch Flash Video. Why publish video online in any other format? Macromedia shamelessly flaunts their stats.

Airtight Interactive has just published Simple Image Search, an excellent example of using Flash to create a better web application. AI decided to use Yahoo! image search instead of Google because of its easy-to-use API. The only functionality that’s missing from the Flash version is a way to go back to your previous search, but otherwise it’s beautifully executed.

Of course, just two months after I purchase a brand new 17-inch Apple PowerBook, Apple announces its release of the MacBook Pro, which is 4x faster than the now outdated G4s. These new laptops are powered by a dual-core Intel engine and come with a 15.4 inch TFT display. Well, at least mine is bigger.
