Google Swiffy Flash to HTML5 Converter Test
Google today introduced a new tool from their labs that ”converts Flash SWF files to HTML5.” I thought I would give it a try on an old flash demo I did a while at InsiderPages.

So today I participated in the Na Hoku Festival by doing a panel on social media and a short presentation on ” Tools for Creating a web presence” online. Got to walk to the Hawaii Convention Center from new place and enjoy a beautiful morning. It was pretty great to see the festival kicking into high gear after working with the organizers for months on their website.
