Joseph Arthur:Temporary People

2008-09-25T21:38:00.006-06:00

So Joseph Arthur is still cranking out spiritually charged, emotional, soul infused lyrics at a prolific rate, and on the heels of 4 solo EP's this year, comes on September 30th A new full length for Joseph Arthur and the Lonely Astronauts album. The single, which it appears he filmed in his DUMBO, NY art gallery/studio MOMAR(museum of Modern Arthur) is here below as a taste of the tone and rythm all die hard Joseph Arthur fans feed upon:

If this is an indication of the quality, I am looking forward to this one. Still my favorite artist and my best concert experience. Hopefully it will not feel as rushed and fall short of it's potential as the first Lonely Astronauts release.

Epic for me: The Verve Forth

2008-08-25T20:22:00.002-06:00

This is a great album, as someone who had abandoned the idea of a reunion, but was held together during trying times by Northern Soul, and the self titled 'Verve' this is an epic release, and thus far the press has been on it also. A- from me.

Flash 10 Astro

2008-07-06T18:49:00.003-06:00

Adobe Flash and the actionscript language continue their rise from their roots as javascript hack to a versatile, well formed language under the guidance of Adobe and it's engineers. Me, I still have not had time to master AS2, but the path of actionscript continues on at an asounding pace, that only full time Flash developers can hope to keep up with. To that end nears the release of Flash 10 astro, on the heels of the ECMA, OO only, Class based structure that is Flash 9, comes many enhancements to the actionscript language including the long touted 3D programmatic classes which can make any of your objects an interactive 3D object, obviously something I look forward to testing:)

some notes from the FP10 page

3D Effects - Easily transform and animate any display object through 3D space while retaining full interactivity. Fast, lightweight, and native 3D effects make motion that was previously reserved for expert users available to everyone. Complex effects are simple with APIs that extend what you already know.

Custom Filters and Effects - Create and share your own portable filters, blend modes, and fills using Adobe Pixel Bender™, the same technology used for many After Effects CS3 filters. Shaders in Flash Player are about 1KB and can be scripted and animated at runtime.

Advanced Text Layout - A new, highly flexible text layout engine, co-existing with TextField, enables innovation in creating new text controls by providing low-level access to text offering right-to-left and vertical text layout, plus support for typographic elements like ligatures.

Enhanced Drawing API - Runtime drawing is easier and more powerful with re-styleable properties, 3D APIs, and a new way of drawing sophisticated shapes without having to code them line by line.

Visual Performance Improvements – Applications and videos will run smoother and faster with expanded use of hardware acceleration. By moving several visual processing tasks to the video card, the CPU is free to do more.

Enhanced Sound APIs – Work with loaded MP3 audio at a lower level in Flash Player 10. The new APIs will let you do application-level audio mixing through ActionScript and even audio filtering with Adobe Pixel Bender.

There was a language reference online at the labs site showing all the new classes, but it appears to have been removed, I will upload a copy for perusal later. Overall some cool stuff, just wish I wasn't falling so far behind the curve.

Pointless slow loading, self indulgent 3d movie!

Cheers hope you enjoy, pretty happy with it in general, not happy with the fluidity of the camera movement, but decent lighting, smooth text wrap around the sphere, decent custom textures/materials, and reflections look decent, though compression killed some of the more subtle bits
