Google Analytics + Flash CS4 + AS3

I just finished a Google Analytics + Flash CS4 + AS3 setup and I’d like to impart some help to anyone who is attempting to do the same. It is a *little tricky, and while the documentation is pretty good, it’s still a little tricky.
OK- so first you need the Google Analytics Flash Component so [...]

Flashbelt Wrap-up

I attended the Flashbelt conference in Minneapolis, MN a couple of weeks ago, and left fully inspired, energized and a little overwhelmed by the experience. I had the same feeling last year when I left, and wanted to regain the feeling. It basically comes down to spending three 8 hour days getting bombarded with information [...]

half marathon training, again

I found my 8 week marathon training program that might work for you.

it goes up to 10 miles, but you really only need to train up to 9. If you can run 9 you can run 13.
you only have to run 4 days a week, varying distances. the idea is that you run a base [...]

my Half Marathon update.

First of all, I did not stick to the 8 week training plan I set up (link). I probably ran about half as much as I should have and ate way too much the last couple of weeks. It was around my birthday and was going out to lunch alot and blah blah blah. I [...]

8_week_marathon_trainer copy.pdf
you would be able to run a Half Marathon in 8 weeks. That’s 13 miles. Don’t believe me?
 
It’s a fact. I did it earlier this year, and now I am going to do it again. If I can do it- you can do it. Also- [...]

use Speedball Diazo Photo Emulsion

In screenprinting, there are many variables that contribute to the success or failure of your project. Emulsion may be the most important variable, and it’s one of the easiest things to screw up. Of the half dozen-or-so emulsions I have tried, I have found Speedball Diazo Photo Emulsion to be the best, for me.
OK – so here [...]

you probably have a hand sprayer like this at your sink

or maybe one like this that attaches to your shower. but these don’t put out the kind of PSI you need for getting dried crap off your plates or spaying emulsion out of a screen. you need to supercharge it with a little bit of your DIY [...]
