If you're thinking about improving your Flash skills, then you might want to start bugging your boss now for two days off in October. That's when FITC Hollywood, the Rich Media Entertainment Festival will be happening in Universal City. This is THE place to learn, brush up, and network with everything Flash and Rich Media related (thus the name).
Aquent will be sponsoring, as well as Walt Disney Internet Group, Adobe, MTV, our friends at Almer/Blank, and a host of others.
Sessions include:
- AfterEffects CS3 for Designers
- Flash Animation Workshops
- Pricing & Contracts for Digital Media Professionals
- AS2 to AS3 Migration
And a lot of workshops I can't even begin to pretend I comprehend.
New this year is a Get a Job Festival in which both freelancers and studios will be given 5 minutes on stage to strut their stuff. For freelancers, that'll mean sharing portfolios and studios (and us) telling you want opportunities they (we) have for you. This is free if you're a freelancer or an attendee.
All the information is on the FITC site.

THAT BIT AT THE END
"Action!"
Most of what I've become, I believe, can be blamed on my father. The man was a relentless tinkerer and decided one evening to switch the voice box of my Redondo Beach Darby with the one from my brother's Mercenary Mike action figure.
So, come Saturday morning, my Darby doll began warning anyone walking outside her tiny condo about things like incoming mortar attacks and booby traps.
As you can well imagine, this affected me in many ways when it came to playing with friends.
I was, for one, embarrassed each and every time I brought my Darby over to my friends' houses. Mostly because my doll was apt to shout "Time to reload my crossbow!" or threaten to wallop their dolls with her powerful karate chop (a feature she didn't actually have).
Two, Darby and I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out which one of my friend's dolls worked as a double agent for that conniving Dr. X. (Oh, how I was always on the lookout for his tell-tale laser red eye!)
Darby began to lead a double life. Yes, she looked stunning arriving at a party in a hot pink tricot bodysuit under her ruffled skirt (cinched at the waist with a wide silvery belt), but then she'd complain loudly that someone had eaten her C-rations. After taking a turn on the dance floor with Ben or one of the many other clean-shaven men dolls, she'd sit down with them and complain about the terrible jungle heat.
And so it went that my Redondo Darby stopped drinking tea or joining the others at the faux BBQ for fear that someone in the perfect little cocktail dress would poison her.
In her own condo, instead of cementing her relationship with her girlfriends by hosting late night gab sessions, she would badger them to load missiles into the Assault 'Copter or sweep the place for listening devices.
Taking the lead from Darby, during my formative years I never really learned to do many of those things that every little girl should: visiting with friends, discussing feelings, checking out boys, or shopping endlessly for clothes and accessories. Instead I became obsessed with the mysterious assault on Silo 66, about which Darby would speak with greater and greater frequency.
What is a "top ranking NCO?" How far is a "click"? These questions plagued me while my geometry teacher prattled on about the Pythagorean theorem.
I became less involved with my friends, whose dolls Patina and Clarisse were forever quarrelling about who had the cutest top or which was the best mall.
It didn't really seem to matter, especially if we were going to take down the perplexing Silo 66 at 1700 hours on any given day.
It was right then that I made the difficult decision to give Darby the makeover of makeovers. It was inevitable. You get a pink taffeta dress stuck on a grappling hook just once. It's a lesson you don't repeat.
Besides, Darby felt more comfortable in fatigues than a halter-top.
She moved out of her condo after an argument with her roommates over foreign policy turned into a slapping contest (it was one of the few times I actually did wish Darby had a karate chop).
And soon she found a nice bunker to share with two men named Redwolf and Flynt who, like her, preferred fingerless black gloves to arm length ones.
And she never looked back.
Neither did I.
And though it's been nearly 15 years since I was an adolescent, when shopping for clothes I will inevitably veer toward the camouflaged or at least black ones. And in sporting goods stores I can never walk by the crossbows without picking one up.
Sadly, the assault on Silo 66 never did materialize, and its location remains forever a mystery.
I still do have Darby in a box up in my closet. And I still take her out every once in awhile just to hear her gravelly voice just for old time's sake.
And whenever I'm at a party and a woman in the perfect little cocktail dress offers me a drink, I always tell her, as Darby would have if she were there instead of me, "Not on my watch, bub".

98 CENTS OR LESS OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE HEADQUARTERS!
Whether you're looking for enough aluminum foil to cover your windows (2 for 98 cents) or just need something to help check out that suspicious new neighbor (Mr. Peepie's Spy Telescopes are just 98 cents each), don't even THINK of blockading yourself in your home without visiting UNWELL WALLY'S first!

Will the library track you down for that book you checked out six years ago? Has your mother been kidnapped by CIA operatives? Seems like these subjects ALWAYS come up when you're trying to find receipts or deciphering the notes you took in Geology 101. The answer's just a phone call away with our inexpensive ready-to-charge phone cards at a ridiculously low 77 cents each!
Light switches wear out fast when you turn them on and off repeatedly, so replace them quickly and safely with our 3 for 98 cents LiteSafe brand switches and 98 cent screwdriver set. Just remember to turn the fuse off first!
Never ask yourself again whether or not you left the oven on with our 2 for 98 cents pliers. Ideal for taking knobs off stoves and removing on/off switches from coffee pots, irons, and much, much more!
And speaking of more, check out these other UNWELL WALLY'S bargains!
* Collecting newspapers? We've got miles and miles of string to help keep those stacks from toppling over on you!
* Take a break from ritualistic counting with our handy autoMiniCalc calculators (1 for 98 cents each)!

If you're a Flashee (not a Flasher, I'm guessing) we may be seeing you in luscious North Hollywood tomorrow.
Yes, the Flash Festival has begun! FITC Rich Entertainment Festival, to be exact.
You can still get into tomorrow's events if you want to. Saturday only ticks are $320 ($160 for students). For that low, low price you'll get presentations in "Creative, Technical, and Business areas, focusing on
cutting edge Rich Media trends and developments within the
Entertainment Industry" and "over 50 renowned design and technology presenters from around the globe".
Your eyes may just pop out from all the action.
R Blank from Almer/Blank is backing this, and he is considered a Flash Guru, so you know it's going to be good.
If you are going, be sure to save a few moments to stop by our booth. We'll give you an Aquent Cow, Aquent Beach Ball, or heck, maybe even a pen.
R Blank was also kind enough (via Shawn Pucknell) to give us a password to get into the parties on Friday and Saturday. Now that, my friends, is a nice guy.
Friday October 6th, 9PM Adobe Party Location: Café Tu Tu Tango inside Universal Studios Entertainment: DJ Eric Jerome and visuals by Born Magazine Saturday
October 7th, 9PM Media Temple Fast Time Party Location: Spider Club Address: 1735 N. Vine Street, Hollywood Entertainment: DJ Cody Peyote
Just say "FITC" at the door to get in.
Don't say "FTCI" or "TCFI" because they will boot you right onto your keester.
Then what will you do with your weekend?
Oh, the Top 10 List.
My friend once asked a writer who worked on Letterman's show why #2 was always funnier than #1. The writer told him they needed a not-so-funny #1 so they could go into commercial break quicker.
Now you know the secret.
Everyone has at least a Top 5 List, right? Those lists drawn up on notebooks during dull high school classes (Top 5 Classic Rock Ballads, Top 5 Vodka Drinks, Top 5 Most Boring Teachers). With the advent of blogs, MySpace, and Friendster, everyone who visits your site can know your Top 5.
But what about those people you'll never see again? Like the checker at Ralph's Supermarket. Wouldn't it be great if she knew you really, really enjoyed Faulkner's Light in August?
Now there's a company that can help you out with such things by putting them on a t-shirt for you! T-lists will help you put your Top 5 Films, Top 5 Overrated Bands, and the like on a sweatshop free T.
It's like free advertising for your brain!
By the way, any thoughts Top 5 Favorite Things about Autumn?
- Fewer Tourists
- End of White Slacks Season
- Surly Teens Back in School
- Heavily Discounted Spiral Notebooks
- Slowly Gaining Back Winter Weight
Can't wait to see yours! (Either here or on your T-shirt. You pick.)

Excuse me for saying, but there is a HECK of a lot going on for NY Design Week.
Or don't excuse me.
I did hear that Creatives liked to "par-tay", but the list of events and parties is a little ridiculous.
Check out Core 77's compiled calendar. But be prepared, you might get a little overwhelmed/inebriated just looking at it.
While we're on the subject, I was at a party this weekend and heard the greatest euphemism for having too much to drink: overserved.
"My husband gets really bad headaches after he's been overserved."
It's actually quite clever. See, it sounds like whoever was pouring the drinks made the mistake of giving you too much, not that you kept going back to the martini bar until they cut you off.
Brilliant!
One of the great things about working with Drea Silva is that she is endlessly connected to the Internet. So I can get IMs at my desk from her phone when she's stuck in traffic (she says she's at red lights, but...) And I get links e-mailed from her at odd times: 2:47am, 6:45pm, and the like.
The upside of this (besides the fact I'm not her roommate) is the endless amount of stuff she finds in cyberspace. Say, the blog ReadyMade which is devoted to DIYers who "like to make stuff". What kind of stuff? Stuff like pictures of anything you've ever hacked in an Altoids tin (via Flickr). Or Matchbox Pinhole Cameras. She also passed along the Make Blog, also devoted to DIY folks. (Who ever knew anyone had so much time? Or didn't have TiVo?)
Also an interesting passalong, the Blog Business Summit.
Looks like someone's trying to get me out of the office...
We'll start with these. From last week's Springy Clock Fest:
1) Finish this Holly Golightly line from BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S. "We're alike, me and cat. A couple of poor nameless _____".
2) For which of the following films did Audrey not receive an Oscar nomination?
3) Audrey was well known for her tireless efforts in working with…?
And a hearty springy clock (well, actually 3) to Kathy Houseman, Jean Young, and Julane Marx.
Probably no contest next week, by the way, as I'm using that other part of my title: Stuff Coordinator, and helping put together a shindig for 130.
Is it just me, or is the Holiday season getting earlier?
Happy Friday, everyone!
Before I sashay home, I'll leave you with instructions to both our ASAP Job List (that's a link) and the Aquent Hot Talent Newsletter (also a link). They're both over to the right, as usual, and updated weekly.
Or weakly. Proofreading (as you can tell) isn't my strong suit.
And the promised contest, this time all about Audrey Hepburn:
1) Finish this Holly Golightly line from BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S. "We're alike, me and cat. A couple of poor nameless _____".
- nobodies
- schmoes
- slobs
- outcasts
- so-and-sos
2) For which of the following films did Audrey not receive an Oscar nomination?
- My Fair Lady
- Sabrina
- Roman Holiday
- Wait Until Dark
- Breakfast at Tiffany’s
3) Audrey was well known for her tireless efforts in working with…?
- Greenpeace
- UNICEF
- The United Negro College Fund
- The Reading Is Fundamental Organization (RIF)
- World Wildlife Fund
First three correct answers e-mailed to me get the Aquent Springy Clock!
tdonnelly@aquent.com
Good luck!
Here are the answers to Friday's quiz:
1) Which of the following is not a character Johnny Depp has played?
Brom Van Brunt (that was Casper Van Dien's role in Sleepy Hollow)
2) Which rock star is Depp said to have been inspired by when playing Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean?
Keith Richards (from Depp interviews)
Aquent Springy clocks going out to the first three winners!
I won't be here Friday (woo hoo!), but I'll try to have another one the Friday after (Dec. 2nd).

I thought I'd pass along this movie review for the first Revenge of the Nerds movie.
The Reviewer's name has been removed to protect him.
FILM OPINIONS:
The first film is a comedy classic, no questions asked. Honestly, who WOULDN'T laugh at a fraternity full of nerds doing a panty raid on a sorority house? However, the film does question reality - there's NO WAY a college would force its freshman class to move into the gym and give its dorm to jocks. Likewise, many of the actions you see in this film would get students expelled. And do you see anyone getting expelled in the film? Nope. Likewise, it's a movie about college life, but there's only ONE SCENE in the entire movie that takes place in the classroom! But don't let the lack of realism ruin your experience - this is a comedy classic.
OVERALL:
Eighties comedy films are the best comedy films of all time, and this one beautifully demonstrates that. If you sit down and watch this films, I guarantee you - it will be impossible not to laugh.
