Nawlz: probably the best online comic you'll ever read

This interactive online comic slash animation is written by artist and writer Sutu, who hails from Melbourne.  It can be a bit hard to follow at times, but stick with it through the (currently) 13 episodes and it all starts to make some sort of weird twisted sense along the way.  It contains soundscapes/music produced by various glitch and dub-step style artists.  Well worth a look if you have the time!  I'd recommend watching it in fullscreen mode... I had some problems with the sound not playing in a few of the episodes - but just try it in a different web browser and it should play just fine.

Interesting, thanks.
I found this site after clicking around on other work...

notice the small indicators on the bottom (I wonder if an image can show up in my comment to your post? Hmmm.... If not, click on Los Angeles Photo Report, and then click on a thumbnail image to view – then look at the bottom):
“use the arrows on your keyboard:”
And the way they handled the strip at the bottom with ‘full screen’ mode, sitepolicy in JP or EN and ©

Q. HTML 5: Could it kill Flash and Silverlight? A. Yes and IE too!

Continuing the discussion - HTML 5: Could it kill Flash and Silverlight?, via http://blog.skitsanos.com/2009/06/html-5-could-it-kill-flash-and.html

HTML 5 won't only kill Flash or Silverlight but it could also kill IE's dominance in the browser market altogether and well ahead of the projected timeline if it continues to treat customers, developers, and more importantly web standards in general with indifference. As browser vendors such as Mozilla, Apple, Opera and Google continue to implement HTML 5 features seemingly quicker than WHATWG can make a recommendation for it, it clearly shows peoples desire for a more dynamic web experience. After all it's been well over a decade since the original HTML and we are still used to websites being mostly static pages.

Flash and Silverlight have several problems that new features of HTML 5 effectively solve. I won't get into the details here as they have been endlessly debated over the internet for the last year, you can Google it if you like but many will argue that Flash and Silverlight work just as well. Frankly most suggestions are complicated work-arounds and at the end of the day it's just not as simple or as integrated as doing it directly in HTML 5.

As these new experiences blossom on the web and word of mouth spreads (as Mozilla and the developer community have proven work so effectively) people will start asking why they can't do that on their IE browser. I get the sense there is a genuine ground swell of support for HTML 5 with more sophisticated demo's being produced on a nearly daily basis and eager developers who are looking to experience that excitement and passion they once felt for the web when they first started in the industry and when it wasn't "just a job".

I've been tracking development of HTML 5 via the WHATWG mailing list for sometime and if you want a say in the furture of HTML 5 or just want to keep abreast of developments I strongly suggest you join their mailing list. While I agree HTML 5 is definitely a step in the right direction I also believe it should not be overshadowing the efforts of XHTML 2 which is a another blog topic entirely. However the future of the web is indeed a bright one but it could also, as many have been predicting, be one without a dominant Microsoft.

Adobe und HTC machen Adobe Flash Platform auf Android verfügbar

Das neue Smartphone HTC Hero bietet ein umfassenderes Weberlebnis mithilfe der Adobe Flash Technologie

München, 24. Juni, 2009 — Adobe hat heute gemeinsam mit HTC, einem weltweit agierenden Hersteller von Smartphones, angekündigt, dass das neue HTC Hero das erste Android Handy mit Unterstützung der Adobe® Flash® Technologie sein wird. Das neue Handymodell ermöglicht das gewohnte Interneterlebnis und erlaubt Handynutzern Zugang zu der großen Vielfalt an Flash-basierten Inhalten.

Mit dem neuen HTC Hero können Anwender beim Internetsurfen ein größeres Angebot an Internetinhalten und Applikationen nutzen, die bisher nicht von Handys unterstützt wurden. So lassen sich nun Flash-basierte YouTube Videos anschauen und mit nur einem Doppelklick auf das Handy-Display in den Vollbild-Modus vergrößern.

Das HTC Hero bietet leistungsstarke, kompatible Video Wiedergabe-Funktionen sowie interaktive Inhalte, die auf ActionScript® 2.0 basieren. Mithilfe intuitiver Videobedienelemente lassen sich Web-Videos komfortabel durchsuchen. Durch die Verbindung des progessiven Streamings großer MP3-Dateien von einem Webserver mit dem lokalen Cache ermöglicht das HTC Hero einen konstanten Hörgenuss. Da Sorenson und ON2 VP6 Codecs unterstützt werden, ist eine qualitativ hochwertigere Wiedergabe von Videos und anderen Webinhalten realisierbar. Ein Eindruck des Nutzererlebnisses lässt sich unter www.adobe.com/go/htchero abrufen.

HTC hat zudem bekannt gegeben, dass das Unternehmen dem Open Screen Projekt beigetreten ist. Das Projekt strebt an, die Verbreitung von reichhaltigen Interneterlebnissen auf Fernsehbildschirmen, PCs und mobilen Geräten voranzutreiben und hierbei die Möglichkeiten der Adobe Flash Platform zu nutzen. Mehr Informationen dazu finden sich unter www.openscreenproject.org
