I am very excited that once more I have the honor to talk at this year's FITC conference in Toronto. Looking at the program I can see that the next days will not allow for a lot of sleep - Shawn Pucknell...

The Toca Me conference that took place this saturday in my hometown Munich was a blast. And it felt a very big honor for me to be among such an outstanding group of presenters. My personal highlights were Andy Cameron who gave...

If you wonder why I haven't posted anything during the last months it's because I'm involved with some very exciting projects which unfortunately take all my attention so the blog currently suffers quite severely. But at least the time has come that...

If you are interested to see where Joa Ebert and me have taken our seam carving project you should head over to the creationonthefly.com blog. There are some screenshots and infos about Woodpecker, a smart image resizing tool we built with Flex...

After my post about the various content-aware image resizing projects I couldn't resist to take a closer look at Joa Ebert's ImageResizing class and take him on his word "If you can improve something do not be shy and post it". I...

I'm looking forward to the Flashforum Konferenz 2007 that takes place in September in Cologne. Since I had to cancel my talk last year this time I will appear even twice: I will do a session about my exploration of evolutionary art:...

Even if this article might seem to be a bit anachronistic - believe it or not - there are many people out there who still have to code in Actionscript 2.0 and who publish for Flash Player 8. And it looks like...

It's just a little more than a week from now until the most eagerly awaited conference of this year will start: Flash on the Beach 2006 in Brighton. I'm very proud to be part of it especially since the speaker lineup is...

After a short but wonderful sidetrip to New Mexico I've finally returned home from what was a really exciting Flashforward. I've seen some awesome sessions like Brendan's or Craig's and unfortunately missed some others like those by Jeremy, Branden, Chafic or Grant....

I'm all excited because in about 12 hours I will be sitting in the plane to Toronto which takes me to this year's FITC conference. Actually I'm very very exited because I will not only attend this conference to see and meet...

Undeniably November will become an intense month for me. And as if Singapore and Amsterdam aren't enough my travel itinerary has just been extended by another destination: on November 15th I will be speaking on Macromedia MAX Korea. And even if I...

I think it's only fair that if André goes to Korea I will come to Singapore in 4 weeks. I've just been invited to hold two presentations on the Macromedia MAX conference 2005 in Singapore on November 10 + 11. In one...

I just wanted to thank the fine folks at actionscript.org for their Flash employment section because - surprise, surprise - it really works! Since I registered as a freelancer I have received many interesting inquiries which very often turned into jobs. So...

Someone told me that only kings and leaders of totalitarian regimes can afford to go on vacation for more than two weeks, but nevertheless I'll be on holiday in Denmark for the next 23 days. As I don't want see my site...

... and once again the anniversary passed by without me noticing. Two years and two days ago I started this blog, so I think it's about time to thank you all for dropping by again and again to read at least some...

The source code of my page turn component that I showed in my flashconference session "Pages to turn on" is now available for download here. I've also added the presentation slides in case you want to have a look at the related...

Nah - I'm only joking. I really want to send a big Thank You to Mike Chambers and the Central Team for their cool surprise present! And I promise - as soon as my current project is finished I will develop something...

From time to time I have to remind you that I couldn't do Quasimondo if I wasn't part of coma2. We have just finished another project: the redesign of Avantgarde. If you speak German you might want to vote for (or against)...

I'm sorry for the current lack of updates on this site, but one reason is that I'd been struck with a nice full-featured influenca which knocked me out for a few days. The other reason is that I'm currently buried in regular...

I will not do this more often than necessary, but I want to show you some of the stuff I do when I'm not working on this site (which is currently 90% of my time): I'm a co-owner of coma2 - collective...

This is about envy, I hope it will not sound too bitter. A few weeks ago I attended the FlashForward conference in San Francisco. As I didn't go to any other Flashconferences yet I think that FlashForward is pretty cool. You get...
