There are many great internet audio broadcasts and podcasts out there. LA.FO is looking to produce a show all about multi-rich-interactive-media... Any insight from people with some experience streaming audio and live broadcasting via internet would be greatly appreciated. Please spread the word. And if you have requests for shows, content, schedule or anything feel free to post a comment here! :-)

Who has done Living One Sheets before? Seems to be trending in the interactive ad world.

Wondering if anyone has found some good templates for Flash? It's becoming a bit of an industry and certatinly not the right solution for all problems. But I have found some great pre-fab stuff out there.

My fave at the mo: http://www.warmforestflash.com/  (I bought the Sycamore template for a client who loves it.) What is that it's well-designed and engineered. (Speaking as a creative, as always.)

Great structure. Easy to use. Extensible. And, most important, the human touch. A handy tool in the arsenal of the well-informed interactive designer and art director.

Would you agree? Thoughts?

Send us your links to other such great work...

Cheers,

We're excited to get started (again) with our online group for Flash and all things multimedia here in LA!

In such a sprawling metropolis, it's great to be able to connect, netwrok, learn and share from our home or office. Hasan and I are planning and scheduling speakers and presentations for the coming months... Any suggestions are welcome.

Our first meeting is this coming Thursday already. We're proud to have Sean Chatman with us exaplining some amazing Flex tips and tech. Infinite undo/redo... among the topics and tricks he's mentioned to me. We'll also be reviewing some of the developments announced at Adobe Max. It's sure to be a fun-filled and illuminating experience for one and all.

Keep your ears on this site for the Connect url... It's all coming together right now...

See you there!
