Introducing Tweekr v1.0

Thursday, March 20th, 2008




This is my first deployed Adobe AIR application. You can consider this version 1.0 as there are some needed changes lingering in the back of my head that I may or may not get to. But overall it functions and it looks pretty good, therefore I deem it deployable. The idea behind Tweekr spawned from my Multi-User Authoring class where the objective of the final project was to create a mash-up of internet data. The program itself doesn’t carry an extreme amount of usefulness, but it is visually entertaining (I enjoy chatting on AIM while it runs behind all my chat windows). Basically what Tweekr does is allow you to enter any Twitter user name (or none to pull from the public timeline) and have the latest Tweets from that user parsed into keywords used to query Flickr images which are then tiled across the screen and cycled elegantly. Don’t get it? Feel free to try it out; all feedback is welcomed.

Also, I have started a Tweekr twitter user which I will try to keep updated with synonymous sets of keywords that should provide somewhat unified sets of images in the app.

MixBoard – My Adobe AIR Project

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

In my very little spare time I have been working on an Adobe AIR application based on my initial Flash Project done for a Sound Design class. I began porting it to AIR literally during Flash Forward 2007, in between presentations, and have since refined the look and feel and functionality. Over the next few months I hope to devote a little more time to the project and hopefully get it into a deployable state.


The application is intended for live audio mixing, and although I have not sought out to conquer audio sequencing in flash like some, I feel the project is worth my time both as a final product and learning experience. I also hope to integrate the current drag and drop interface into some sort of multi touch technology.
