new composition for Composition

Well, ShopComposition has decided to ditch their Flash interface (which was awesome) and use HTML with some extra JavaScript sauce.
I love Flash (and have a career because of it), but it’s great to see great alternatives.

*note – I tried it in Firefox (2.0.0.14) on the Mac, but it seems to work smoother in Safari (3.1.1).

“I think you’re born an artist or not.”

Robert Rauschenberg, American Artist, Dies at 82

Anything you do will be an abuse of somebody else’s aesthetics. I think you’re born an artist or not. I couldn’t have learned it. And I hope I never do because knowing more only encourages your limitations.

– Robert Rauschenberg

The iPhone is more of a competitor to the Blackberry than I had originally thought.
Seems RIM has started a Blackberry developer fund just like Apple & KPCB did on March 6, 2008. They’ve also put 50 million dollars more into the pot than KPCB’s 100 million dollar iFund.
It also seems RIM is launching a full touchscreen Blackberry phone, sans tactile keyboard.
…and it ALSO seems RIM is organizing the first ever Blackberry Developers Conference.
Let’s get something straight RIM – just because you throw money and conferences at a mobile platform, doesn’t mean it’s going to get better.
The same way watering a rock garden isn’t going to grow you any fresh fruits and vegetables
…or blackberries as the case may be.
