Pledge drive: Help me help 360|Flex who is helping me

The 360|Flex conference is coming up soon - March 8-10 in San Jose. It seems that John and Tom - the organizers - have everything ready to go except for one little item: getting a sponsor for the USB Thumbdrive that comes in the swag-bag. They offered it to me but it's a little out of my marketing budget for RunPee.com - which is zero dollars. But they are on the hook either way so we worked out a deal. I'll start a pledge drive and try to raise as much money as I can to cover the cost of sponsoring the thumbdrive - $1,300 target. In exchange they will put RunPee.com on it. I'm not on the hook for anything except trying to raise money to cover their costs so that they don't take a loss.

We would all appreciate it if you chipped in a few bucks. I will give every dollar donated to my Paypal account to 360|Flex up until the conference is over. Let me know if you would like for your donation to be public or not because I'll keep a running tab on this page of who donated and how much.

Paypal donations to: Dan@polyGeek.com

Thanks for your support,
Dan Florio, John Wilker, Tom Ortega.

Understanding Apollo

November 1st, 2006 . by polyGeek

Chris Brichford, the engineer on the Apollo team doing the actual HTML integration, has his MAX2006 Understanding Apollo presentation available at GoogleVideo.

In it he talks about:

  • how Apollo will render HTML
  • the rendering engine Apollo is using – WebKit – and why they chose it
  • what can be done to the HTML
  • How JavaScript and ActionScript will work together
  • lots more

I’m very excited to get my hands on Apollo. The possibilities that it will open up are practically limitless. I’m thinking about building a web browser that mimics a sort of photo carousel as my first project.

If something here has proved valuable to you then feel free to drop a couple of bucks in the tip-jar.
