Adobe has set up an online (via Adobe Connect) meeting where developers get the chance to open a dialog with the Flex SDK team. If you are unhappy with a certain aspect of the SDK or just want to add your input, then attend this online meeting.

Announcing a Flex Community Feedback Forum

WHEN: January 28th  10:00am PT / 1:00pm ET / 6:00pm GMT (duration 1 hour)

session  will be an opportunity for the community to talk about the Flex SDK

We look forward to hearing from you!

In an attempt to break my normal (don’t make new years resolutions idea) I have decided to make 2009 healthier. It is broken in to 3 easy to understand and pretty much common sense areas. Those areas are Personal Fitness, Eating Healthier and Balanced Work.

The first one, Personal Fitness is something I have *tried* in the past, but after a few weeks I would lose interest and would begin to cut back or simply stop. Well the plan this year is to fight through that because I want to live longer. Now that may sound dark in a way, but its jut common sense, a healthier person is more able to be active and generally happier. Part of the *new* addition to this year is WiiFit. More on that later, but basically its awesome.

The second step, eating healthier may also seem like common sense, but when you stay up late, work all the time and don’t get out at much, you tend to eat junk food, chug Red Bulls to keep your eyes open and always have “munchies” close by. The plan here is to no longer bring snack food into the office, cut back on the sweets overall and basically focus on the 3 meals a day and drink less soda (for more than one reason).

Now the third step, balance work is the key to the success of 1 and 2. Why you ask? Well its simple, if you are always working you need energy (carbs and sugar) which causes you to gain weight and in turn makes healthier you go right out the window. So the plan here is to work a normal set of hours, be online less (even for fun) and engage in more activities.

The obvious goal here would be to become more healthy and happy, which is a pretty awesome reward if you think about it. However, my goals/punishments surround travel, because I love to travel and I figured what better motivator than putting one of the most enjoyable things on the line. The bonus to keeping this goal throughout 2009 is yet to be determined, but I have some ideas.

So, now you may be wondering if this blog is going to become all “pro-fitness”.. well, no it is not going to be. I am in the process of setting I have set up a personal blog which I will track my progress through and will provide a link to that once its set up.

I try to stay away from the “personal” posts while blogging, but every so often it seems fitting.

This first weekend of the new year has proven to be a very productive one.

It started early Friday with wrapping up the writing on the remaining chapters of the Fireworks CS4 Bible, the next step is editing while working with the publisher to get all the loose ends tied up.

However, working on the weekend is nothing new to me, if you have ever spoke with me you know this!

One thing that I did different this weekend was relaxed some and its only Saturday evening! I spent much of my free time listening to a bunch of new music, mostly Christian and I loved every bit of it. My cousin Teisha has always been able to recommend great bands to listen to, and this time was no exception.

I listened to NeedToBreathe, Newsboys, Casting Crowns, TobyMac, Natalie Grant, Third Day and a few others. If you are looking for some new music to throw on your iPod I highly recommend these groups. A few of them are not necessarily new to me, but they are still ones that stand out overall. If this is a sign of things to come for the new year.. then by all means, bring it on! I hope to keep this semi-relaxed weekend a bit longer than once a year, let’s see how that goes.
