Bacon, 360|Flex and TechSmith
Posted on Tuesday May 19, 2009 by Betsy Weber

Part of my job is to connect with people. And, as you may know, I might be what some people call a little quirky. :-) So, I thought we should have something fun in the booth. Somehow I stumbled up Maple Bacon Lollipops - I had to try them! I mean, what could be better than sugar plus organic bacon on a stick?! I figured, it'd be fun for Brooks Andrus, our Senior Flash Developer, and I to take them down to Indianapolis for 360|Flex this week. The lollipops would be a great hook to get people to talk to us and a way to have fun at our demo table. So far, so good!
Interested in the response to the lollipops? Brooks and I interviewed a few Flex developers not only about the candy but also how they use Snagit, Camtasia Studio, and Jing. Check out the first interview with Nick Kwiatkowski. It's a quick one that runs 2:00 minutes.
We made the video with a Flip Mino HD camera and used Adobe Premiere to edit plus a pic from iStockphoto.
Also, be sure to check out Brooks' first video about the bacon lollipops here.
Maple + Sugar + Bacon + Stick = Good?

Fun stuff... I wonder when (not if, of course!) Camtasia Studio will be able to import directly from a Flip. Not exactly CS's primary use-case, but more Flips are getting used in education, a popular market for CS.

@john - :-) Always! Although I must say I'm happy to be home some this summer!
@Mike Lougee - I'll make sure the team gets your feedback. Flips are so easy. I'm seeing more of them pop up around TechSmith too.
