the Fresh!

The heart and soul of what flensed is about is re-thinking the way flash is used and leveraged on websites. There’s (understandably) a good degree of resistance with the hip crowd who thinks its still so cool to yell “down with flash” whenver they get a chance.

I predict those fools will be the ones begging for a job 5 years from now, because the rest of us, who see flash as a pratical tool with powerful potential (but admittedly a colored past), will be far down the road in making real and practical innovations on the web. I “preach” a message of inclusion, meaning that all these different technologies have their place and it takes a mature and intelligent person to think technology-agnostically about the topic and use what’s right for each part of a job, and not be afraid to re-think the status quo from time to time.

This ZDNet article on flash/silverlight is one of several I’ve read recently which are starting to, ever so gracefully, crack open that egg and start seeing if anyone else will bite. I couldn’t be more pleased that I’m not alone in the wild on this concept. Definitely give that article a read and comment over there if you agree.
