Flash…Back

Most of my work is done with Flash, I teach Flash, I breathe Flash, I am Flash. So here I am sitting at my desk at the Rival Schools wondering what will be the future Flash.

Steve Jobs said:
“Flash was created during the PC era – for PCs and mice. Flash is a successful business for Adobe, and we can understand why they want to push it beyond PCs. But the mobile era is about low power devices, touch interfaces and open web standards – all areas where Flash falls short.”

So if you take Flash out of the equation does the Flash guy die?

Superman
Perhaps, or maybe he’s morphing into Superman. I believe Adobe needs to rethink or even translate Flash into HTML5. Thank God for me, I am not just a Flash Designer. I believe my title is “Señor Interactive Developer”. What does that mean? I make things, digital things, things that are interactive. If HTML5 or Flash Redux is the future, I am comfortable with that. One of the things that characterize Rival Schools is “Versatility”.

Lalala and Peace out.

If throwing/flipping boxes and dragging letters is your cup of tea.  This blog post is just for you.
When you first arrive at our homepage, you can see our interactive tag line: “We are a creative digital boutique.” You can drag & drop it and even throw it around.  Quite fun, really.

Here I have a version without the timer, so feel free to play with it for as long as you want.  If you would like to start again, simply click on the reset button on bottom right corner.

Gravitate to the Rival Schools featured section

Tools | August 17, 2009

In the past couple of months I’ve been getting my hands dirty with Unity3D and Box2D. I gotta tell you, Physics engines are a lot of fun. Back in school days, I wasn’t very good at physics. If the prof asked “How long does it take an object to get from A to B?” I would say, “Who the F… cares? As long as it gets there.” Anyways I wanna apologize to my prof and if he’s out there and reads my post, I would like to say that “PHYSICS IS COOL”. There I said it. Geek out Prof!!!

Here take a sneak peek at out RivalSchools Featured Section.
