Some time ago I was watching an episode of “Prototype This” and was thinking that these guys have an awesome job of creating mechanical prototypes and interfacing them with some fancy programming. That got me thinking about some things that seemed quite interesting to me and I started surfing the [...]
A few weeks ago I was thinking it had been a while since I’ve done something with physical computing. I had created a mobile application that controls my BTicino domotics system, as you can see pin this video. Then I created a mobile remote controller for a physical maze game, [...]
So this year was my first year at the gotoAndSki(‘Switzerland’) conference and I didn’t quite know what to expect. Well, besides being part of an awesome speaker list that is… First thing I couldn’t help but notice is the beautiful location, in the middle of the mountains covered with snow. [...]

Today I was discussing the Validator classes on the Adobe prerelease forum with a couple of other Flex developers. The Flex Validator classes are pretty good for some basic validation and give you a fly-over error message (which you can customize) and a red component outline when the validation fails. [...]
Yesterday I received yet another monstrous update for the BlackBerry PlayBook. While on the one hand it is awesome that BlackBerry are investing so much time and effort to make things better, but a 250MB update every 2 weeks or so is a little too much for my taste. So [...]
