he is like a wise tree

Sparkle? Doubt it. When was the last time Microsoft got a reasonable foothold in the creative application market?

wetter? you are on here? good to see you (or read you or whatever)

Flash isn't going away anytime soon. I first learned it 8 years ago, and back then it was just an illustration, simple vector animation tool with basically no coding. Look what it has evolved to now. As far as I can tell, things on the web are becoming more like desktop apps (Flash AS and AJAX etc etc)....soon we'll prolly see an even better integration of all coding languages and an integration of all medias, Flash being the choice app being that its cross-platform...maybe Flash will be your new browser..or even your OS. MAC's will soon get the Intel cpu, and we'll prolly be seeing a better intergration between PC's and MAC's...
But like one of the other NTer's said, learn any programming language...once you get one, learning another shouldnt be that difficult. Things will change, and 'you'll' have to evolve to it. Better to get a head start now. Darwin fuckers. Just my thoughts.

yeah...i am here. taking a break from a huge project I am working on.
how's your new site coming along?
any new ssu student sites up?

i am just waiting until the internet is a series of holograms that can talk to us and give us the information we want.
//I think that will be the future of Flash?
i bought the Back the the Future set a cpl weeks ago. Do you remember what year Doc and Marty go to when they go into the future?
2015!!
I am pissed now. We will not be that far along by then. The movie will be a total let down then. I want a Hover Board and Flying cars.

Hover boards aren't so far away! Ever go to the mall and see the security gaurds, rolling on those two wheeled moto's? 15 years ago, you were prolly thinking the same thing...

Nothing new really. I put up a simple portfolio here for a client to see:
I keep meaning to build a nice site for myself, but I never get around to it. I would be better off to even build a bad site for myself than none at all I suppose. Today I am just putting off work that I should be doing.
I saw www.kpf.com the other day, between that and Beck, I am thinking about quitting.

What's a mall?

According to 2A, the fight for the future has begun... I wonder if they mean the future of flash? Somebody should ask them.

The way broadband is heading I think the future of the internet belongs to filmakers, animators and games companies.
If you're worried about a long term career I'd concentrate on one of those, but for the games side of things the coding will probably end up pretty complex, so get learning!

OBVIOUSLY MS Paint...c'mon, get with the program. Spraypaint can ftw!

sparkle is no flash killer but it will be kickass.
what's that other program, it's supposed to be MS's illi/photoshop, it's called 'twinkle' or something stupid. THAT program won't fly.

It'll be interesting none the less.

its going to end up being another .NET - PHP competition.

it depends on what you want to do: front end / middleware / backend development?
php or aspnet are backend languages. you will be coding applications and databases for someone else's designs (or sometimes no designs)
flash work consists of ( primarily) frontend (design/animiation) or middleware (connecting to server, db, etc)
flash isn't going to go away and it is only getting better and better. it's a powerful coding language and a bonifide website application development software. Flash video is by far the best, most integrated, cross platform online video delivery system.
javascript is good but its hard to be a "javascript expert" and do that for a living. granted you can, but then its really just coding stuff for other designers/deveopers.
that being said, for ALL of these, you need a solid coding foundation and be dedicated to learn it.
good luck

Videogame dev teams use flash for front ends. So when your career as a web designer is crushed because of all the little script kiddies, you can turn to videogame interface design.
Go with Flash at first, then learn PHP. It will come to you easier.
