Over the past six months I have more or less neglected this blog - my apologies for that. There are two general reasons for my absence: Twitter and The Good.

I'll be posting more about The Good in the very near future, but as for Twitter, I tweet quite often (you can follow me here, @jonmacdonald) on a varying number of topics from everyday life to serious Flash platform development. In either case, I have come to find that I can distill most of what used to be a full blog post down to 140 characters or less instead of putting a bunch of filler around the main point just to have enough content to form a blog post.

I see this being the case with most of the Flash/interactive community these days as most of the blogs I used to follow via my RSS reader have been all but abandoned in favor of the author's Twitter account. And for most topics, this works quite well: more to the point, easier to share, and certainly easier to post information quickly.

I do plan on continuing to post to this blog when a longer discussion is merited, such as my posts from conferences such as FOTB and the upcoming "what I have been up to for the past six months" post.

So, if you feel abandoned by my lack of posts, my apologies again and don't worry: you can find me on Twitter.
