Concluded Deluxe Flash Video Player
Jul 2nd, 2009 by Michael Connor

I’ve just wrapped up a deluxe Flash video player for BBE.  The player has a customized views (size, gallery layout) and tracks all user interactions and records them to a cookie.

I’ve built many Flash video players. On this one I utilized a few different design patterns (Decorator, Command, Singleton, MVC.).

The project is ‘done’ but scheduled to restart July 20 when BBE will have some deals signed with clients to use the player.

Not sure why, but this caught my eye on Flickr. Very classy.

Tom Kennedy – Art Car Artist – RIP
Apr 15th, 2009 by Michael Connor

Art Car artist Tom Kennedy died on Easter Sunday 2009. 

At Burning Man 1995, he blew my mind with his Ripper the Shark.  Here is some video I shot. 

Note Tom going in ever tighter circles as I chace him on my bike with a camera. This was one of the happiest moments in my life and I have it hear on tape.

I’m deeply saddened to hear the Tom is no longer with us.

Garbage Man Sporting His Bling
Mar 29th, 2009 by Michael Connor

I love NY’s strongest. Part of me has always wanted to be a garbage man. Ride on the back of the truck getting a close up view of a good chunk of the city every day. I’d want to have my own truck that follows along and grab the good garbage but they probably wouldn’t allow that.

My garbage guys are friendly and real down to earth funny guys with a great whatever attitude that you probably have to have to do the job. Whenever we put out a lot of garbage, I’ll run outside in my pajamas when they come and help them toss it all in the truck. 

Last garbage day it was cool and rainy out.  The guys wore waders and their green sweat shirts.  One guy had on the fattest gold chain I’ve ever seen. It seemed to me to be a statment:  I got a job and health insurance. I’m in charge of million dollar equipment. I don’t have to go to the  gym because my garbage is my gym.  You don’t want to mess with this. I am NY’s strongest.

SlideshowPro PHP and Flickr
Mar 12th, 2009 by Michael Connor

I’m a big fan of Flickr. I use it to archive all the photos for an art collective I belong to. So I was very excited when I stumbled upon PHP script that can work with the Slideshow Pro component. It allows you to use Flickr as CMS.

Here is a slide show of a few flickr sets I’ve created for the Madagascar Institute.

The PHP script can be set to pull in Flickr photos of a variety of parameters:

  • photos from any user by tag
  • title
  • description
  • flickr set.
