As usual I will post a recap once I return, but hopefully this trip I can post nightly or from my phone as I am learning about different things. Maybe even shoot some video and upload that as well. I know one thing I am looking forward to is the annual PhotoshopCafe photo walk with some of the most amazing people in the photography world.

If you will be at the show take a moment to stop by the PhotoshopCafe Booth and say hi, we have roughly 11 new titles covering various topics and i’m sure you will have a blast with us. The booth will even have some speakers where you can learn a thing or two live, on the floor.

For those that don’t know Litl is an intuitive webbook that runs Flash Player and is built around a community of apps “cards” for the user to download with ease.

I actually learned about Litl from Scott Janousek and other Flash enthusiasts about a year ago. Well a few months ago an offer was presented where I got the chance to work with Litl (freelance basis) and I am thrilled.

While I can’t talk about specific projects or concepts I can say its a freaking blast. The Litl team instantly made me feel at home and all of them are a thrill to work with. Stay tuned for more details and of course lots of great tutorials on Litl development over at Scriptplayground in the coming months.

The company is working on some great stuff that I can’t wait to be a part of. In fact I will start freelancing with them once I return from my Florida vacation later this month. To say i’m excited is an understatement. I am freaking thrilled.

Once I learn more about the company and projects I will make the “tough” decision of actually hanging up my freelance hat, at least during the day.

I will leave you with a clue of where the company is. Lets have some fun with this, first person to leave the correct company name in the comments gets a $20 iTunes Gift Card courtesy of me. I will not give additional hints or acknowledge incorrect/correct answers till I announce the company later this month. Good luck.

Well enough is enough, after numerous dropped calls and spotty reception I have decided to start something, maybe it will have an effect on the issue. Head on over to freebumper.com, leave your twitter username and share it with others to get some exposure on this issue with an otherwise awesome phone.

All told the site from registration to uploading took about 2 hours, I love how fast DNS propagates these days. Anyways, back to the point, go and sign the “petition”.

Well as luck (even though I don’t believe in luck) has it I may have possibly found that company or at least a very ideal candidate. Now of course I have many freelance opportunities remaining and will never truly leave the profession. I am just thinking a slow fade to a onsite job could be in my near future.

I am not one to count my chickens or celebrate too soon, but my gut has me thinking this change is exactly how I can refresh my creative juices. Maybe it will last 6 months or maybe 6 years, I just don’t want to ever miss an opportunity for the fear of the unknown.

All this being said, what is your opinion on freelance vs. full-time? How do you define your “perfect job”?

Well after much reloading and cursing on Apples website I learned AT&T was also allowing pre-orders. I quickly headed over to their site and was welcomed by a quick and painless purchase process. Now I am just waiting for account confirmation as I am opening a new one rather than upgrading my 3GS.

I plan to write a full “post-mortem” once I receive the phone. Of course it will be arriving when i’ll be out of town, luckily others will be home to gather the package.

So, did you get a pre-order? How was your experience?

Update: Here is another way to pre-order when the website is down.

I got the opportunity to work on this project thanks to Media-Fuse based out of Chicago, an agency that I have worked with for a few years now.

Here is a quick screenshot of the app, be sure to download your own copy.

I still remember watching Gary Coleman portrayed on an episode of the Simpsons, which I do believe he did the voice of.

Then there is Dennis Hopper, a truly awesome actor and great man. I think a “Weekend of Hopper” is in order, someone should set that up, similar to how FearNet and others do for Halloween.

That one being Google TV. No this isn’t Googles version of Apple TV but more an interactive experience that engages the user and makes the content come alive and no not in 3d!

Google TV is said to allow content like YouTube, Hulu, Amazon and Netflix and deliver it to your TV with ease, just like in front of your computer. However unlike your computer developers will be able to build full apps to take advantage of this time the world spends in front of their TV.

One aspect of Google TV that catches my attention is the ability to build these Apps using Android, so in theory I could build a mobile and TV version of my app, sync the content and allow the whole family to interact. Imagine being able to let grandma keep tabs on her family, this is what WebTV was meant to be years ago.. Google just seems to be doing it right.

As most of you know I was a member of the AIR for Android Prerelease program at which time I built Happy Peg using AIR and shot a video of the process.

Well today I am happy to announce the prerelease program has been opened to the public, all you have to do is sign up, download the files and get coding. However you will still be bound by standard NDAs, so be sure to read all of the “Welcome” information and follow the rules.

Enjoy this special opportunity, go out and get a Android phone (if you don’t have one) and start porting those apps for mobile consumption.

I will be posting lots of tutorials and information once I am able to, follow Scriptplayground to stay up to date on all things Android.
