I think Yahoo and AOL would be a much better fit than Yahoo and Microsoft. I hope that this could actually work. It amazes me how Yahoo is really trying to find a way to not get bought by Microsoft.
Yahoo Seeks to Restart Merger Talks with AOL
TechCrunch reported today that other companies (such as News Corp.) are interested in Yahoo as well. I am really hoping that whoever purchases Yahoo will preserve a bit of its online identity. I also hope that whoever purchases Yahoo (even if it is Microsoft) continues the work of supporting Flash, Flex, and ColdFusion developers.
What a way to start a Friday morning… Microsoft has put in a $45 Billion bid for Yahoo. Normally, I don’t mind big corporate mergers, but this one has me a bit concerned. Yahoo has done a great job of supporting Flash / Flex / Actionscript developers in recent years, and I [...]
My contract with Verizon ends next month. I am evaluating which carrier to switch to (or to stay with Verizon). I was curious if anyone has used Helio. I was thinking about getting the Helio Ocean. I like it over the iPhone because it has 3G, GPS, and auto-uploading to Flickr. [...]
It appears that many servers are still so tired from all of the attempted live blogging of MacWorld. This morning, my server apparently had had enough. It decided it was going to take about a 3 hour break. It’s back now and all seems to be well. I also have negotiated [...]

This is the time for some reader response. We have two parts left in the Cairngorm Tutorial Series. I am trying to plan ahead and determine what topic to tackle next (with Flex,AIR,Flash or CF). The Cairngorm series came out of several people specifically asking me to do it. What would [...]
I am working to finish Part 4 of the Cairngorm tutorial sometime today or tomorrow, but I have a Blog Challenge for all of you out there. Most everyone who is involved in web development has been inspired, encouraged, and taught by people that they might not have ever met. I know that [...]
I have even more Pownce invites. If you are an AIR Developer (or want to be) this is a good chance to use a real-world application. Also, this has been a good resource for me to discuss with other developers and exchange files while I work. Just comment – and let me [...]
