A few quick news items to point out:
- Flex 2 Beta 2 was released early this week on labs. Download the latest bits today, and be sure to read the beta 1 to beta 2 changes since a lot of things have changed - especially in regards to the API Scrub.
- Google Finance (beta, of course) is now available.
Normally I wouldn't report about a new Google application, but this one is special. They're using Flash to create a highly interactive chart that blends well with AJAX. More importantly, Google used the Flash JavaScript Integration Kit to get Flash communicating with JavaScript.
Rock on OSFlash! I'm waiting for the day for Google to submit their own open source Flash project.... but, just knowing that Google is using open source Flash code makes me smile.
Oh, I turned 25 yesterday too. Go me!

Thanks everyone!
@Abdul - Yeah, sorry about that. I'm sure there's a lot of legit comments that don't get accepted due to my blacklist filter. I should probably tweak the list and make it a little more leniant, but I get a ton of blog spam and I'm just tired of dealing with it... *sigh*
Hey man, happy b-day there, sorry I'm calling in a tiny bit late.. Eventhough it's 0.36 on a fridaynight here I assure you I'm singing over here, I'll have a beer and toast to you... :)
