I just got back from Adobe MAX and WOW! It was my 1st MAX and my 1st time in Chicago, and I met so many wonderful people at the event. Adobe put on a very good show! There were a lot of sneak previews of things to come and I took lots of video that I have to sort through and post up, so stay tuned! In the meantime, take a look at the opening video of the keynote address. Can you spot our very own Laura Arguello?

For those not familiar with the OC, there is a high concentration of technology companies and high-tech industry and research here, that has earned the area the title of the "Silicon Coast". The area does get overlooked sometimes because we are sandwiched between our much larger neighbors, Los Angeles and San Diego, so it's nice to have user groups serving our very active local developer community here.

You know what they say about all work and no play! We've been very busy here with projects and deadlines, so it's nice to take a little break and post something fun and revealing! We've been getting ready for next week's Adobe MAX conference in Chicago, and Nahuel had T-shirts made to help us promote Fill Colors. Check out the cool design and us modeling our new shirts.

As my first post, I'd like to introduce myself as the newest member of AsFusion! Laura and I have been friends and classmates for years and I'm excited to be joining Nahuel and Laura as they take AsFusion to the next level. I'm not a Flash or CF developer, but I'll be helping them manage their projects and posting regularly to the blog to keep you apprised of all the latest and greatest going on here!
Laura and I just came back from the Adobe on AIR Bus Tour when they stopped in LA. Adobe is promoting their Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR), formerly known as Apollo, which is in Beta right now and the 1st release is expected soon. For those who aren't familiar with AIR, it's technology to allow you to deploy rich internet applications to the desktop. To give you an idea of the kinds of fun stuff you can do, I shot a clip of a great demo by Lee Brimelow:

I think the opposite happened and we started to see more and more Adobe blogs, public betas and community-reaching activities. I think they might be even more open now than Macromedia was, with things like the Adobe Labs, just to give an example.
We have experienced that first hand, at 360Flex, thanks to Ted (and of course the people from Ebay and Yahoo!) and also by receiving an unexpected gift from Mike Potter on behalf of Adobe, the ActionScript 3 Cookbook by Joe Lott. So thank you both for a great conference and a great gift!
