http://www.brooksandrus.com/blog/2006/03/01/beware-flash-conference-organizers/ This is the blog of Brooks Andrus. Here, at irregular intervals, you may find digital noise centered around the activities of an early 21st century technologist. I work for TechSmith Corporation, but this web space and the views found on it are entirely my own.

Maybe it's unrealistic to expect people to detach from the virtual umbilicus; I suspect feedback will motivate us to supply it at the next event.
