		<title>Getting a Flash Dev Job in NYC (Part 2)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Part 2 is focused on the interview process of job hunting. The  anticipation of an interview can be excruciatingly nerve-wracking,  especially if you're generally afraid of people and haven't interviewed  in 4 years like myself. I knew that it was going to be a rough start, so  some of my methods were planned out with that thought in mind.]]></description>

		<title>Flash and the City 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Flash and the City marked the return of flash conferences in New York City and the first one that I've attended in 3 years. When Elad Elrom started talking about the conference last year and announced that the super early bird price was $99, it was hard not to buy my ticket right away. I'm glad I did because in the end, I definitely got more than my money's worth. In addition to seeing some awesome presentations, I met some cool people and left inspired to get better at what I do as well as open my horizons.

FATC proved to be a bit more techy and geeky than FITC, but still a great conference to attend. Of course it was very flash oriented and there were a lot of Flex specific talks as well. In addition to the things I highlight below, there was a bunch of more inspirational talks that are a bit tougher to distill but hopefully there will be enough here to get people pumped enough for next year's conference.]]></description>

		<title>Thoughts on RobotLegs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, you may have read and heard a lot of people talking about Robotlegs. Well maybe you haven&#8217;t, but if you&#8217;re a dork like me, you probably have. And even dorkier of me, I find it actually really exciting and has changed how I approach programming.
For those of you who don&#8217;t know what Robotlegs is, [...]]]></description>

		<title>GridFitType</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, you need to use a dynamic textfield in flash where it&#8217;s necessary or more convenient to create the textfield completely dynamically (not placed on the stage in a movieclip in the library). You style your text nicely and set up everything so that it looks just right and then when you go to animate [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wordpress Stylin&#039;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post is for those of you that are intimidated by the idea of styling your first Wordpress Blog (if there are any). I&#8217;m here to say that I&#8217;ve survived and this is the outcome.
During college the whole web development thing frustrated me and scared me enough that I vowed that I wouldn&#8217;t touch it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thoughts on Pure MVC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, I used the Pure MVC framework for the first time on a project at Iomedia and it opened my mind to the right ways, wrong ways, and new ways to structure a project in Flash. Before I get into the pros and cons, I want want to first warn any of you that are new to using frameworks in general that there is some studying involved in order to fully wrap your mind around how this thing works. But it's totally worth it.]]></description>

		<title>Oscars 09 Ballot project</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a new flash project up that I&#8217;ve been working on for a few months on and off.
http://www.gregkepler.com/oscars09/
This is an Oscars ballot site that was set up for my family and friends. I used a bit of practical Papervision3D for the ballot selection and Aftereffects for the transitions. It was a fun project, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Papervision 3D Optimization Tips</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I came across this article yesterday while looking for some simple papervision3D optimization help:
 http://interactivehug.com/2008/04/21/john-iacoviello-papervision3d-optimization-tips/
I discovered some of them through my own trial and error process while some others helped double the overall framerate of my swf from 15/30 or so to around 28/30.
The most valuable processor saving tip that I discovered was that you [...]]]></description>
