Late November saw a visit to Krabbesholm Højskole in Skive, where I taught a workshop on building animations in Flash. In one week, the graphic design students built eleven animations for looped projection at a party examining and celebrating Black Light.
The new Zunes are out, with a new UI designed and built from the ground up. Of course, I can’t make a completely neutral review of it. But Paul Thurrott can.
The new firmware is strikingly visual, and quite a bit different from what Apple provides on the iPod nano and classic. It’s also a bit different from the original Zune software in that the menu text is now quite a bit bigger.
Watch the YouTube demos here or here with Bill Gates and J Allard at the Zune HQ.
