There are many Kevin Goldsmiths in the world. I'm the one in the software industry. Or, at least, the oldest one in the software industry. Or, at the very least, the one to think of registering the domain name first.

Adobe is switching to a new blogging platform and it looks like some of the formatting and images from the old posts haven’t been carried through yet. Working on it…

In this video, Russell shows you how to use the Oil Paint filter that comes with the Pixel Bender Plug-in for Photoshop CS5 to create some Van-Gogh-esque art. Also, I want to give some props to Adobe Research’s Holger Winnemoeller who wrote the filter, it is really cool!

Yes, I’m an idiot. I left a valuable piece of my property on your plane, Alaska. I know that you are not responsible for items left behind, it’s my fault, not yours. However, that was the last flight of the day and the item in question was out of sight of other passengers, but my [...]

Reading the reviews of this restaurant, I was unsure what to expect. It sounded like it was decorated like an antique store. The food decent, but not amazing; uneven and over-priced. I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was indeed distinctive and unusual, but not overbearing. The dining room was open, [...]

posted on June 2 2010 - New Flash Experiment posted: Image Navigation via Overlay
I’ve been working on a lot of Pixel Bender experiments and wanted a nice UI to allow zooming in to examine the effected pixels. I decided to use the method of having an overlaid box on a scaled version of the image that corresponds to a zoomed separate display. I looked around and found some [...]

The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon – Thurs 11p / 10c Appholes www.thedailyshow.com Daily Show Full Episodes Political Humor Tea Party Is Apple jumping on the crazy train? I liked this article on Newsweek: Apple vs. Everybody: The company’s epic battle over a missing iPhone is only the latest in series of contretemps. It’s [...]

So we started this product cycle with two geographically-dispersed mixed-discipline scrum teams on two week sprints. Specifically, the geographical co-mingling was designed to break up some of the silos that had built up on the team due to the existing functional teams being in different cities. By the third sprint, we’ve now switched back to [...]
posted on May 1 2010 - Pixel Bender Synthesizer Experiment
The subject of using Pixel Bender for audio processing on the Flash platform comes up a lot. Audio processing is very processor-intensive and math-heavy, so it would seem natural to leverage Pixel Bender to improve performance of audio within a SWF. At some point, last year, I was talking to Justin Everett-Church about doing a [...]

I like that Keith Loutit is actually using the effect dramatically here, making the technique integral to the film as opposed to a simple wow factor. Bathtub IV from Keith Loutit on Vimeo.

[disclaimer: I am an Adobe employee and an Adobe and Apple shareholder, my opinions are my own and not those of my employer.] Like the rest of the software industry, I’ve been pondering what the effect section 3.3.1 of the iPhone 4.0 SDK will have. I had fully been planning to make an iPhone application [...]

I’m trying to write this on an iPad, thankfully one that I didn’t buy. Like many, I was intrigued when it was first announced. I’m a fan of Apple, if not a fanboy. There was a lot I’d been hoping for in the iPad announcement, most of which I didn’t get, but I still had [...]

There was a lot of work on Pixel Bender, under the hood, for CS5. One of the main things that you’ll see in your CS5 apps is significant performance improvements when running Pixel Bender on the CPU. We partnered with Intel to drastically improve our X86 and X64 Pixel Bender performance on Windows and Mac. [...]

Did you know that you could use C-Style macros in Pixel Bender? This capability has always been there, but Ralph Hauwert pointed out to me that we haven’t really told folks about it. Similar to with a C-Compiler, these macros essentially are replaced with the code that is defined by them. Since it happens in [...]
