Have you ever launched a new Flash or Flex application, only to start receiving reports of it crashing, but there are no other details to work off of other than “it’s broken”?

I’m sure I’m not the first person to want this, but I thought of this recently: How awesome would it be if the Flash Player provided the option to send a bug report or crash log back to the developer if they wanted to receive them?

The commercial for it is a joke.

The resulting sound quality is terrible.

It comes from Microsoft.

All good reasons to brush it off as one big joke, right?

Those of you that follow me on Twitter, may have seen the post where I mentioned the awesome New Years “party” that we did - flying over Salt Lake City at midnight to see the fireworks from the air.

My brother-in-law Chris, was our pilot for that night and was kind enough to take my wife and I with him and my sister. We took off from Airport #2 out in West Jordan, flew down over Utah County for a bit, and made it back up to SLC just in time for midnight to fly over downtown.

Chris got a new HD camera for Christmas, and so we were able to shoot some video while we were up there. If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to fly directly over a fireworks show, now you can see it. The fireworks were being launched from near the Gallivan Center.

Watching the show there was great, but it was also pretty amazing to be able to see all the various fireworks displays across the valley all at once. This is easily one of the most memorable New Years that I’ve had so far, and would do it again in a heartbeat.
