A Delicious Death?

By Jason Michael Perry • Aug 12th, 2008 • Category: Headlines, Misc

Who knew that a heart attack could sound appealing? Well my friends one restaurant in Arizona has done just that. A burger that defies all burgers. A meal that you can eat happily all while knowing that this just may be the end. The end with a smile!



Love That Tap Water

I don’t know about you, but I always thought spring water was better than the stuff from our tap. Apparently I was wrong, but Dasani is here to set the record straight. Check out their video for more insight.



ActionScript 3 Training

By Jason Michael Perry • Aug 2nd, 2008 • Category: ActionScript 3, Headlines

Late last year I wrote a new curriculum for developing Flash Applications using ActionScript 3. The class has been a huge success and continues to fill classrooms with students eager to learn what is new in AS3.



Great Objective-C Resources

By Jason Michael Perry • Aug 2nd, 2008 • Category: Headlines, Objective-C

If you do not have experience programming in C, Objective-C can be a hard language to learn.

Something about it and its very unique syntax (and memory management - remember alloc and dealloc) takes a while to fully, grasp.



App Store Sales Amaze, Dazzle

By Jason Michael Perry • Aug 2nd, 2008 • Category: Headlines, iPhone

Early signs from Apple’s iTunes AppStore have been extremely positive with one developer reporting an average of $1700 a day in sales over the last 3 days. The Crossword Puzzle app in question managed to become an Apple Staff Pick and sells for only $5.99.



Lost in Translation

By admin • Aug 2nd, 2008 • Category: Headlines, Misc

Several years ago a student turned me on to Engrish. This site is devoted to translations gone way way bad. While Engrish is great, this morning I heard the best case of bad translation on the radio show Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me that I’ve ever heard.



I Love The Onion

I’m am always amazed at how they can take something like Al Gore, and his battle for the environment and transform it into something so relevant yet so amazingly hilarious!



Event: Adobe User Group on Flex and BlazeDS

By admin • Aug 1st, 2008 • Category: Flex, Headlines

I’m speaking on BlazeDS integration with Flex 3 at our next Use Adobe user group meeting in Washington DC. This event will be a little different than previous UG meetings, since its hands-on for the first 16 or so people to arrive and an afternoon only session.



The Quest for Infinite Knowledge

Did you know that the largest number of children born to one women was 69?

Did you know that Hannibal Lector never blinks once throughout Silence of the Lambs?



Chocolate and Bacon…

By admin • Jul 31st, 2008 • Category: Headlines, Training

Anyone who has sat in my classroom knows that I have a “small” obsession with bacon. Something about its smoky and salty flavor just makes it the best piece of meat any man (or women) can have.
