I am just so excited about my new iPod that it inspired me to just sit down and actually try and make a flash movie. It started out well, but then when I switched perspectives I redraw images that were the same instance! Basically, that means that as I redrew the images for the new perspective, they were automatically changed for the old perspective because flash think that they are the same thing. It really got me all fed up and I tried to patch it up quickly and then gave up on the project. So far all of my flash experiences have ended in utter failure, but from these failures give me hope for the future!

By the way, does anyone else remember that they are a contributor, or am I the only one without a life?

Almost forgot, here is what I have of my new animation. You will need flash player to view.

After 3 hours or some hardcore mp3 reorganization, my music collection is now ready to be squeezed into my tiny new iPod. This shiny silver and white box is amazing! After trading in my easily emulated gameboy advance and overpriced Rio mp3 player (with a horrendous 128 mb capacity!) I was able to actually save my parents money by letting them get me an iPod.

Today I also played with the neat bold and italic options for posting.

Merry Christmas everyone. I’m spending the holidays with the Randalls in Olympia until the 3rd. I love Washington.

Hoot hoot hoot!

I’m an owl.

Adam is tired.

Adam needs sleepy.

Adam’s postage is at the mailbox.

I’m done. Bed time now.

Has anyone else noticed the ‘{’ on Collins title? I have. I saw it the very first day that he was added, but I didn’t say anything. I have stayed silent for far too long. It’s the truth, it’s an outrage.

What happened to the 25 days of postage Adam?

For those of you that live in a cave, we caught Saddam! I am interested in seeing how they carry out the trials.

When there is no daypop.com top 40 postage, there is no mathcaddy.com steve postage.

Holy cow! Forget my iPod… I want an iDuck! (Scroll to the bottom of the page to see it.)

I got some very useful tools today to help me further hone my animation skills. More specifically I got a .swf ripper that allows me to steal other peoples flash animations and an action script viewer that lets me see how they put it togethor. This made things seem to be on the bright side for my future animations. Then I took a look at the action scipting and dont even have any idea how to look at animation techniques. Looks like im back to the old frame by frame animated .gif’s.
