Tuesday August 3nd

  • Final touches to lextLeading
  • back onto popcorn and open video
  • started to research a new demo, brainstorm ideas.

Wednesday August 4th

  • continued with research for a new demo. I am hitting a lot of dead ends, and not sure which dead end to turn into an opening.
  • Talked with Brett about popcorn, about where it is heading, what is important, and to get ideas for the current and future demos. I think I need to focus on, as much as I can, breaking that wall between flash and the web. I think a strong argument with using javascript over flash is I can have the library, made in a way that is easily integrated with familiar things like jquery, processing, and any javascript library. Something the xml limits us on is that it is just xml, and not integrable with any and every javascript library, but also using xml in an of itself is an advantage, and maybe supporting both is the best way.

Thursday August 5th

  • First thing I did was re read yesterday's conversation with Brett, to help it sink in and warm me up.
