It’s been awfully quite around here last couple of weeks. That has it’s reasons.
I was involved with the 2 projects, 1 being a Native iPhone applications where i will be releasing more details about very soon, and the other is the FITC Mobile Guide iphone website.

For you guys who don’t know what fitc is.

If you were lucky enough to attend our FITC Amsterdam 2008, you know what it’s all about. If you missed it, you’re going to want to grab a ticket before they’re all gone (there sold out, but you can put yourself on the wait list http://www.fitc.ca/amsterdam/wait/). There is no other event quite like it. The combination of unbelievable presenters from around the globe, incredible networking opportunities, and the infamous FITC parties, all with the amazing backdrop of the city of Amsterdam, creates a stage set for the unexpected. We’ve brought back some of your favourite speakers, added a number of new ones, and we also have a few surprises up our sleeve to keep everyone on their toes. With some of the most interesting and engaging presenters from around the world, it’s 2 days and nights that will leave you inspired, energized and awed. And probably pretty tired. So join us for an event you will never forget!
With a limited number of tickets available, this event will sell out.

• 2 full days and nights of events, plus 1 day of optional pre-festival workshops
• Over 50 presentations and panels covering the Creative, Technical, and Business aspects of Flash and digital media

Me and my co-worker Thomas Joos Developed a complete mobile guide for the upcoming FITC Amsterdam.

Today, FITC has send out a press release in order to inform all attendees that there is a whole range of mobile FITC Amsterdam content available. As some of you know, I kinda have my share in this one:

Toronto, Canada [January x, 2009] — Adobe Max Award08 winner Boulevart is busy putting the final touches on a mobile content package for FITC Amsterdam, a two-day event focused on the art and craft of Interactive design and technology. This is the second year for FITC Amsterdam, which takes place February 22 – 24, 2009 at the Felix Meritis European Centre for Arts and Sciences. The Boulevart team includes Mobile Consultant and Flash® Lite™ expert Thomas Joos, a graduate of the Technical University of West-Flanders.

“Thomas is on the cutting-edge of rich media for mobile and typifies the kind of sharp, young creative minds that make our events a success,” says Shawn Pucknell, Founder and Executive Producer of FITC Amsterdam.

Beginning today, FITC Amsterdam attendees can download mobile screensavers, wallpapers, and a 2009 event guide at http://www.fitc.ca/amsterdam/mobile. All content was developed by Boulevart using Adobe® Flash® Lite™, a powerful runtime engine for mobile and consumer electronics devices.
