Nokia recently launched a new site that allows users to use their imaginations and create new visions for headphones of the future. The headphones users create are mostly fictional, adding some wildly expressive features like hot rod exhaust pipes, peacock feathers, missiles, etc.
The site is part of a contest Nokia is launching around the configurator. Users are invited to create and submit their designs online, where they'll be voted on by other users. The top 10 users will get a free trip out to Nokia's headquarters in the UK, where their designs will be produced into real headsets and given to them to keep.
I caught up with the development team who built the app and they were nice enough to give me an interview. Read this entry to see the full interview text as well as get some more information on the contest.

KitchenSync is an up-and-coming ActionScript 3.0 library for sequencing animations and other time-based actions. The project is focused on giving developers a smarter way to handle animation or other time-based, rather than frame-based, functionality with code. The whole project is geared towards using standard OO practices to make time-based synchronization easier on developers.
Creator Mims Wright recently announced a Kitchen Sync demo contest which has generated some buzz around my office and got me interested in the project. The winners will have their entries demoed at the upcoming <head> conference.
I recently caught up with Mims and had the opportunity to ask him some questions about the project. If you haven't heard of Mims before, he's a great developer who co-authored the Actionscript 3.0 Bible and has done a lot of great Flash work in his career. Mim's is a really friendly guy and agreed to an interview about KitchenSync.
