I was nearly a whole month offline and recharged my batteries for a challenging new year while chilling out at the beach and enjoying the sun. To make it short: I am back and I have lots of ideas in my mind.

I just put up a site with all the AudioTool recordings that I think are quite interesting. It is way easier to share them like that instead of posting about every single track.
I will also put some more sets and other tracks there if I find the time. The site will update randomly.
I am more than proud to announce that we won the Grimme Online Award in the category “Special”. It is the most prestigious award in Germany releated to new media. Hobnox has been picked out of 1900 nominees and we made it.
The category “Special” has been introduced to cover high quality and highly innovative projects which do not fit into any other category like “Information”, “Education” or “Entertainment”. Regarding to the press statement Hobnox has been picked not only because of its high quality content and design but also because of the Noxtools — and this makes me especially happy.
I am finally back home and feel sort of alive. Thanks to Shawn for a great event in Amsterdam. I had a lot of fun at FITC and took a lot of new ideas with me. The FITC in Europe was a total success in my opinion. I hope that I will be able to attend it next year as well.
After the FITC we went from Amsterdam to Berlin and celebrated the launch of the Hobnox platform and the winners of the Evolution contest.
If you were able to register at www.hobnox.com you are now finally able to try out our latest baby. I am looking forward to get some feedback.
Since more than two years I think I was looking at Das Keyboard and never had the cojones to buy it. Since five days now I am the proud owner of this masterpiece and I am more than happy with it. If you ever hesitated to buy it — do it. I never experienced a typing comfort like this. The mechanical key switches will charm your fingers and the sound of it is completly addictive too :)
I am happy to announce that I will speak at the FITC in Amsterdam. My session is titled “Chop the Hydra!” and guess what it is about?
Probably you noticed that I was working with Hydra a lot in the past. Everyone who worked with BitmapData will love Hydra and I have the honor to introduce you into the world of shaders. And even better: It is not only about Flash since Hydra filters work with AfterEffects too.
__asm(
'.fun:',
Op.findPropertyStrict('public::trace'),
Op.pushString('Hello World!'),
Op.callPropertyVoid('public::trace', 1),
Op.jump('.fun')
);
Would it not be great to write that inline ASM in ActionScript 3 while being able to maintain full debugging capabilities? I think so ;). By the way I hope you noticed that Nicolas just revealed awesome news about future haXe additions.
I will speak about WiiFlash at the Flashforum Konferenz 2007 in Cologne. Und zwar auf Deutsch. Es freut mich sehr wieder dabei zu sein und einiges über WiiFlash, API Entwicklung und zum Beispiel die Verbindung von WiiFlash mit Papervision3D zu erzählen.
Update: André Michelle und ich werden außerdem den Workshop “Rent an idea” leiten. Der Workshop wird sehr viele interessante Themen und Exoten wie Partikelsysteme, Computerkunst, Audioprogramming und Spectrum visualizer behandeln. Mehr Informationen gibt es hier.
I will attend the Flashfestival in Paris this year. It starts May 25th and ends May 26th. There will be a session called “Training Sculptures” from the French artist Michael Sellam supported by Thibault and me showing some nice WiiFlash and Papervision3D stuff.
There is also a performance called “Cadavre exquis de code” where four guys (Carlos Ulloa, Nicolas Canasse, Mathieu Badimon and me) will code for six hours and switch seats every five minutes or so. The results could be very interesting.
Check out Andrés latest masterpiece. Amazing stuff as always. I wish I could find time for some experiments as well. Long live the popforge!
