I finally broke down and got a Sony PSP. It has version 2.0 of the firmware, so I can’t do all of the cool things with it (just yet). However, 2.0 does allow you to have custom wallpapers, so I put together a quick Flash Platform wallpaper for the PSP.
Just right click to download it. If you want to make your own, the size is 480 x 272 (if you make one, place a link to it in the comments).
I have been following the discussions on Web 2.0 over the past couple of months, and have been intrigued with the attempts to come up with an agreed upon definition of what exactly Web 2.0 is. One of the interesting things has been watching individuals / groups jockey to define Web 2.0 in a way that explicitly includes their technologies, and implicitly excludes others.
Jonathon Boutelle highlights the attempt by some in the Ajax community to equate Ajax with Web 2.0. Indeed, if you look through the history of the Wikipedia entry on Web 2.0, you can see attempts to define Web 2.0 to include:
The MXDU 2006 dates have been announced. Next years conference will be March 1-3 in Sydney. Sweet!

Check out this sweet Flash based mashup of Google and MSN maps done by the guys (and gals?) over at Neave.com.
We are doing a number of seminars / sneaks throughout North America over the next couple of weeks. This is a great opportunity to check out Flash 8 and Studio in person, and get a good overview of what is in this release.
Check here to see if we will be in your town.
If I missed anything, post the links in the comments.
Hot off the presses:
A new build of the Flash Player 8 beta is out. This build includes fixes to a bunch of compatibility issues, so make sure to check your content.
You can install the new beta from here.
A couple of days ago I made a post asking everyone what features they would like to see in Zorn (Zorn is the code name for a next-generation rich Internet application IDE based on Eclipse that we are currently working on). As expected, we got a ton of great input, and lots of cool feature ideas (many of which are already planned). Anyway, there is one question that kept coming up, which I wanted to quickly address in order to help everyone better understand the significance of Zorn.
As we announced a couple of months ago, we are working on a next generation IDE based on Eclipse (code-named Zorn), focused on application development using the Flex Framework. We have been talking to a lot of developers about what features they would like to see in Zorn, and so I wanted to make a quick post to allow the wider development community to put in their two cents worth.
So, what features would you like to see in Zorn?
