You know how you stumble across something…..
February 24th, 2008
Previously I blogged about how to find something you were looking for, but sometimes you will find yourself down a rabbit hole with no idea how you got there, with interesting consequences.
I started off yesterday by adding all of the blog roles of the most popular flex blogs to my rss reader, so basically finding all the best blogs by association (you know the bit were they link to the blogs they read). After that I began skimming though them looking for something to read, and found an article recommended by Ryan Stewart about Why blist chose Flex and Flash, which reminded me that I had signed up for the beta for blist and so proceeded to read the post.
After reading this thoroughly interesting post (it finally clicked that the reason that the Flash player has so much penetration is because of the popularity of youtube), I saw that he had name-checked the sproutbuilder app as another cutting edge use of Flex, which I remember our mafu Sam had blogged about previously. So…… I began reading the blog over at sproutbuilder and found an usual reference to some vintage weight-watchers recipe cards via the post “Systems Architecture and Bad Cooking, Oh My!” and I have to say i have never laughed so hard at the this link, a dissection of the exactly what is going on inside the mind of a food-photographer.
Be sure to check out some of the other cards as well.
