    Startup Weekend in Hong Kong

    This past weekend was the 3rd Startup Weekend in Hong Kong and I was lucky enough to return again as a judge. This year it was huge with 14 teams competing!   As usual, I was very impressed by the ideas, hard work, and execution. They stared on Friday night with lots of pitches and team formation. The group worked all day Saturday and Sunday at the CoCoon co-working space in Hong Kong (the same co-work space AcceleratorHK is using). A few AcceleratorHK cohort members as well as program director Paul Orlando were helping out as mentors. On Sunday night we all gathered to a different venue where we heard all of...

    Getting Out of the Office

    There is nothing we like more than writing code...but when we're not writing code we love getting out on the town to meet all of you that are using Icenium. Over the past couple of weeks we've had a ton of fun doing just that. We visited Las Vegas and San Francisco for the HTML5 Connections conference and QCon respectively and had a chance to show of Icenium and answer lots of questions. It was a blast, and we'll be doing a lot more of it.

    RadSlideView for Windows Phone: One Step Closer to the Native Photo Browsing Experience

    With our Q3 2012 release last month, we introduced a new functionality in RadSlideView: Filmstrip mode. This feature brings this control even closer to the native photo browsing experience of Windows Phone. As you might have noticed, with RadSlideView you can zoom-in an image and see more details, but when you zoom-out, you can't zoom any further than fitting the image to the available screen-size. Not anymore. The new mode allows you to see the adjacent images if you zoom out enough and quickly browse all images by pan and flick gestures. To leave this mode, simply zoom-in or tap some...
