Here’s a interesting Adobe AIR application made in about 5 minutes.

It literally took me 11 lines of code and a good 15 minutes to build. Decided to send it to Leo and was happy to hear how excited he was about the app and did a plug for it on the net@night and MacBreak Weekly podcasts.

You can use the application to watch the live video stream and see the schedule for upcoming shows. Looks like it was released just in time to see him do the 24 hour iPhone 3G launch marathon.

One of my favorite pizzas, Pizza Hut, launches Adobe Flex Application.  Basically, you can order using their desktop Adobe Flex app instead of the traditional online ordering.

Mind you, I was an employee of Pizza Hut about 10 years ago.

The new Flex application also lets the user view their older orders as you can see here: (my last order)

The great advantage of an Adobe Flex app like this?  I don’t have to wait for the site to load and ordering is much quicker than using Pizza Hut’s online ordering system.

Adobe Air is a wonderful platform, no doubt about it. Still, who thought it would hit the mainstream quickly enough to get the attention of a multi-national restaurant chain like Pizza Hut? Jay Hathaway of DownloadSquad brings to our attention this release, which you can pull off the Web to start ordering that deep dish immediately. You can place all your usual orders as well as save some of your favorite configurations for quick repeat ordering. Perfect for the college crowd. And the startup crowd. Even the blogger crowd!

Here’s an impressive open-source Twitter Desktop Client that was just launched called Spaz.  I do love open-source platforms and soon SiteHoppin will be going open-source too.

For what I can tell, this site has potential to grab some “free” developers for its open-source platform as it supports Mac, Windows, AND linux.  Great stuff guys, keep ‘em comin’.

Newcomer Spaz is a cross platform desktop Twitter client based on Adobe Air. Not only is Spaz open source, it’s also quite slick. It simply looks good. Users will appreciate its simple yet elegant design. They’ll notice that it’s ad-free too. Spaz is completely customizable as well. Users can design their own themes with a little CSS. There are several views—you can see your own tweets and also the tweets of your followers, along with direct messages and the public timeline. Users can add favorite messages and delete old messages. You can be notified of new messages via Spaz’s Tokyo Train Station sound set. Spaz is free to download—you will of course need to load Adobe Air first, if you haven’t done so.
