ToneMatrix, a labs experiment from one of the guys behind the Hobnox Audio Tool is… mesmirizing. The concept is simple – there’s a grid, and each block in the grid represents a specific tone. An invisible playhead constantly loops across the grid and triggers the tones. You toggle the blocks ‘on’ and ‘off’ with a mouse click.
Create your own patterns and fine-tune your melody, or draw pictures and see what they sound like – ToneMatrix can keep you occupied for quite a while. Check it out!

Flash Camp Birmingham is now open for registrations – it’s on June 16th (2009), 12pm – 8pm.
It’s gonna be great, of course – is organised by the Flash Midlands user group, and is the first FlashCamp to take place in the UK outside of London. Luckily for all who are used to everything taking place in London, Birmingham is only a single train ride from London. 
There’s quite a few interesting presentations arranged for the day: http://flashcamp.co.uk/schedule.html and plenty of information on how to get there: http://flashcamp.co.uk/venue.html
Head on over to the website to register, and turn up on the day! (It’s free!)

Pretty awesome, eh? All of the sample source code is available from the Adobe Edge page.
Here’s something I found quite interesting – “Why Apple don’t want Flash on the iPhone… and why Adobe do.” A persuasive article about the possible business reasons behind the Flash and iPhone conflict.
