Debugging AS3 with firebug's console
Most probably you've already heard about firebug, if you haven't, I really recommend you go give it a spin right now.
Basically, firebug let's you lift the hood in your browser and see pretty much everything that's happening in there. It lets you edit, and monitor all HTML, CSS, Javascript live in any web page - it even lets you edit those objects on the fly!
It also gives you a fantastic console that lets you expose information about what's flowing through your scripts. Adding a global variable named "console" it exposes many methods that allow you to write to the Firebug console.
The really cool thing is that from flash you can call "console" using ExternalInterface, and any object you pass will be dumped as if it was a javascript object.
try it out:
ExternalInterface.call("console.log",{foo:123,bar:"da",boo:{da:12,beh:[123,145,"dfa",{fa:[0,1,2,4,5]}]}});
and you will see the output in the image above.

Wieden & Kennedy Website
Wieden & Kennedy WebsiteFor it's 25th Anniversary as the biggest independent Advertising Agency, Wieden & Kennedy relaunched their website to celebrate and showcase their 25 years of work. After just a couple of discussions with the Agency, we realized that the best way to showcase all their immense amount of work, was to focus on all their 'metadata'. That is, show the work and illustrate around each piece as much related content as we could find. That way we created an experience that is centered on keyword navigation, either related to people, projects, clients, awards or a large set of general tags.

Adobe Ideas 2006
Adobe Ideas 2006A cellphone multiuser installation I made for the Adobe "ideas" conference in Tokyo, August 4, 2006.
Everyone in the audience could access the application by using their cellphones and first taking a snapshot of a QRCode that held the url of the flashlite client. Once in, they'd enter a username, select their avatar, and then they'd show up in the big screen infront of them. They could walk around their avatars and send messages using their keypad, but it didn't take long until they figured out that by pressing '0' they'd fire lasers from their eyes! The objective of the game was becoming the last survivor in screen.

newsmap
newsmapNewsmap is an application that visually reflects the constantly changing landscape of the Google News news aggregator.
A treemap visualization algorithm helps display the enormous amount of information gathered by the aggregator. Treemaps are traditionally space-constrained visualizations of information. Newsmap's objective takes that goal a step further and provides a tool to divide information into quickly recognizable bands which, when presented together, reveal underlying patterns in news reporting across cultures and within news segments in constant change around the globe.
Newsmap's objective is to simply demonstrate visually the relationships between data and the unseen patterns in news media.
