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.

AIRos

November 22nd, 2009 . by polygeek

Why isn’t there an Adobe AIR operating system by now? Seems like all you would need is to customize one of the Linux distros to automatically run an AIR app on startup that would act as the interface to the OS. What you would end up with is a light weight OS that would be easy to develop apps for. This would be perfect for netbooks just like the Google Chrome OS.

And the pieces are really falling into place with the enhancements to AIR 2.0 and the Flash Player 10.1.

I think litl is doing something like this but my understanding is that they are using Flash lite for now.

I’m I nuts or is it just a matter of time?

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