Arsecandle on Sea - MyMiniCity

Lovely little piece of web frivolity — You start with an empty patch of land, which only grows into a city as people visit the page. If you could embed this on your own site, it’d be awesome.

Buzzword

A *real* WYSYWIG word processor for the web. Flash-based, and really rather gorgeous. I’ve seen demos at various Boston geek events over the last few months, and it’s turned out excellently.

The iPhone Threat to Adobe, Microsoft, Sun, Real, BREW, Symbian

Well thought-out list of reasons why Flash might not make it to the iPhone. I really, really don’t want Flash on the iPhone: Existing Flash apps and games won’t play nice with the iPhone’s finger, keyboard and multitouch interface, and I’d rather see new AJAX-based web-apps built.

Pleasantly mindless Flash fun.

CHICK CHICK BOOM

Fun Flashgame from Nintendo. Are they prototyping ideas for console games using Flash? This could easily be a great two-player DS game.

The Impossible Quiz Deluxe by =Splapp-me-do on deviantART

Trick questions, logical traps, and just general evilness. Takes an age to download and get going, but it’s plenty of fun.

swfIR: swf Image Replacement

Cunning use of Flash and Javascript to enable “special effects” (borders, rotation and shadows) on images in web pages cleanly.
