Finally Flash Animation on the iPhone, well kind of

Posted on the February 2nd, 2012 under Gadged by

Adobe took a new strategy to put Flash animations on the iPhone, with the release later this year of Flash Pro CS5 Beta, Adobe will enable any Flash developer to create an iPhone application (.ipa file) and then the developer could send it to Apple for approval.

- (NSArray *)select:(BOOL (^)(id obj))block;
- (NSArray *)flattenedArray;
@end

The collect: method takes a block which is called for each item in the array and [...]

I’ve been subpoenaed in the ongoing anti-trust lawsuit against Apple.

There’s a huge number of things on my mind and I don’t know what to talk about or even if I want to talk about any of them. I have to do something, though, because I feel like I’m being blocked by them. I used to blog a ton about things – especially personal stuff [...]

I ran across “Changing the Language of Fatherhood” on a discussion site. Since the situation in the article is pretty much exactly the situation I’m in, I wrote up a response:
My wife works outside the home and I work from within it, so to save on daycare costs the baby stays with me all day.
