Day 2 of Flashforward2005 San Francisco, and we’re settling into our groove… I only brought my crappy cell-phone camera so don’t count on me for photojournalism, but do please continue to throw your own pictures up onto Flickr, with the ‘flashforward’ tag, and we’ll document it together! There are already a bunch of pictures up so have a look. (Thanks to bjdawes, toddvstodd, ferrisb, LeeBrimelow etc.)
In fact Kevin Lynch just showed off the ways Flash is used on Flickr during his keynote presentation (currently underway) so basically: Macromedia wants you to post pictures of this event!
There was a wee fire in the attic of the venue this morning, but you can hardly smell the smoke. (!)
Yesterday’s long-form workshops were excellent, but today is when the action really picks up, with hour-long sessions running in as many as six rooms at a time, and the film festival (and party!) still to come this evening. So if you missed yesterday it’s still definitely worthwhile to get over here and join us — we saved you a ticket.
Are you blogging the event? Post up your URL or hit us with a trackback!
And if you’re surreptitiously playing PSP in the audience of the Herbst Theatre, let me know which game so I can beat you at it from backstage… ;-P

Any idea where to pick-up a PSP in San Francisco?!? Tried one store tuesday and they told me it’d be two weeks before they got re-stocked! Boo! :(

Since you mentioned the workshops, I have to say that I was blown away by Rich Shupe’s ActionScript Fundamentals workshop. I’ve been “getting into” Flash for a while but ActionScript has never been clearer to me. It was like a light went on in my head and I was finally able to see. I was even confident enough to attend his components workshop. Although the last few ActionScript parts were over my head, I’ve already made my own component and used it in a test file! Rich is the best presented I’ve ever seen. Will he be presenting in New York? Also, is there an “official rate the speakers” section that I should be writing this in?

Bill, you should have received an email by now with a link to the feedback form (because we absolutely do care about your feedback — it’s critical actually!) so if you didn’t get the email, let us know and we’ll send it again.
