I’ve been asked many times, “Why is the site built 100% with Flash?” There’s a very simple answer for that: I’m a Flash Platform developer. I don’t know any other way to build it. I had the idea/concept for the site years ago – after watching King Kong. At the time I didn’t know how…

The fine folks over at MacsimumNews.com have a nice piece about RunPee. Thanks fellas. You’re the first news website that I know of to talk about RunPee.com. Hopefully you’ll start a trend! 🙂 And nice work on actually taking the time to do a screen shot of the site and explain what we’re all about.…

Yes, it’s true. I was a “model without clothes” for the Art Department at Northern Arizona University, back in the day. I needed the money and they needed a male model. Turns out that they had plenty of females willing to do nude modeling, but finding males willing to bare all were hard to come…

This weekend was quite productive. First I nailed down the emailing from Flex functionality an Saturday. Then on Sunday I got the deepLinking enabled. I’ve worked with deepLinking before on XanaduWest.com years ago so the concept is familiar to me. Flex adds the HistoryManager class which is amazingly helpful. In this case I had to…

One of the important features I would like to implement on RunPee.com is to let a user schedule an email reminder so that they can be prompted to come back to the site and update it. For instance after they see a movie they might want to be prompted to come back to RunPee and…

Today, 4th of July, is the day RunPee.com went into family-alpha – you know, that’s where only a handful of friends/family can see the prototype and start offering feedback and reporting bugs. Currently there are 27 items on my 2Do list for the app. If I can handle one item a day I’ll make my…
