It's Pimpin'...

Well it's finally finished and live, (No not my portfolio), the site I've been working on last month for MasterLift... pimpmylift.ca!!!

This has been the largest AS2 project I've worked on. It has 23 classes.. a main document class, 2 controller classes, and each section that inherit from a Section class. I've learned a lot form this project and hope to carry what I've learned on to some new upcoming projects.

I was only commissioned to build the Flash front end, nothing after you're "Done" so the way some things function aren't standard but they work well just the same. Try it out and send some pimped out forklifts to your friends.

Crazy or genius?

I resisted posting this for a variety of reasons but I figured I'd give in.
If anyone has seen the movie EdTV then you may get a kick out of this. A new website (social experiment) has started with the same premise as EdTV. It's called aptly enough, justin.tv. A guy named Justin wears a webcam that's online 24/7.

Now based on the fact it's very difficult to connect and lately it's getting worse, I think it's growing in popularity. But I have to ask why? Why is it that we want to see someone' s boring daily life. Is it human nature just to see what someone has and compare ourselves to them? Or is it something else? Personally I think this experiment (if you can call it that) is ludicrous. But I think I'm in the minority. And the fact I'm posting this must mean I been affected some how.

Take a look and judge for yourself. Are you compelled to watch? or do you just walk away?

BTW - A very cool project I been working for a forklift company is due to launch Monday. I'll post a link when its live.
