I was informed by a friend that my Flash and PHP Bible is available on Amazon as a kindle e-book. It’s actually pretty cool to see that, I think the ability to search and bookmark on the kindle makes it a perfect option for technical book readers.
Here is the direct link to the kindle version:

It is no surprise at this point that the 2008 Bejing Summer Olympics have had their share of controversy. Whether its the spectacular fake fireworks or the “un-pretty” singers, everything that was shown on TV now has the potential to never have really happened.. or had some element that was real with so many others embelished for ratings.
Of course the digital spectacle wasn’t enough, it has even been rumored that they altered the Parade of Athletes order to boost ratings.. but good effort Matt Lauer for trying to explain those really awesome Chinese strokes to signify a country.. you really are an NBC pawn.
Now I am gussing your wondering why this would result in not watching the Olympics, simple.. I will not be one of NBC’s statistics and will not willingly promote or acknowledge this dark age in digital life.
Let me make it perfecltly clear what I mean here. I am saying I will not watch the games, not that the atheletes are anything less than amazing. It’s just a shame they are the ones affected here.. but all that matters to networks is ratings.
I have been pretty busy these past few weeks, but wanted to ensure I didn’t forget about mentioning PhotoshopWorld, which will be in Las Vegas this September (4-6). I know you can still purchase tickets and would be awesome to meet up with some people.
If you do attend, be sure to stop by the PhotoshopCafe booth and say hi.
I will be sure to write up a post-photoshopworld overview once I get back from the conference. If all goes well, I will also have video and photos from the show floor for people that can’t make it.
