Doesn't take much at all to get this thing working. Scale your pics, drop them in the pre-defined folder, open up the appropriate XML file and follow the pre-defined text/tag format and Voila, you have a sweet little coverflow gallery for your pics. You can even upload it to your site and connect it to the pre-built Lightbox functionality for viewing full-size pics. Very nice. - Sam Swenson

Hopefully, even in this digital age of cutting edge tools, we'll find time to preserve and practice traditional mediums (or at least using digital tools to reflect traditional mediums). Sometimes brief, excellent fontography and a few well designed brush strokes can speak volumes. - Sam Swenson

Got a good design article you have written? Increase it's visibility by posting a link to it on other sites. Here's a list of sites to give you a head start. - Sam Swenson

Here's a SuperAccordian. What makes it so super I hear you ask?? 1. It lets you select more than one index at at time. Clicking on a deselected child's header selects it and click on a selected child's header deselects it, unless it is the only remaining selected child. 2. It lets you use a ViewStack as a child, splitting the Accordian's header using the children in the ViewStack (like a TabNavigator). - Sam Swenson

ThickBox is a very popular way of presenting gallery images or other visual content on a website (especially blogs like WordPress blogs). By incorporating flash in the mix (as a presentation layer) and invoking thickbox images from the flash, your options for presenting your gallery thumbnails open wide up! - Sam Swenson
