The War on Flash
Everybody knows that web designers don’t like Flash. And by ‘everybody’ I mean ‘web designers’. See Glyphobet: Why Your Flash Design Sucks.
Somebody got the executives of a firm I’m doing some work for into the buzzword ‘flash’. So they love to discuss it; ‘We don’t want a lot of flash, but we do need a bit to impress the guys in the Middle East’. I don’t capitalise their use of ‘flash’ because they don’t mean Flash, as in ‘Adobe Flash’, they mean ‘sparkle’ or ‘pizzazz’.
So don’t tell anyone but I said I’m giving them ‘flash’ and I’m actually giving them javascript.
