@mimshwright

Mims (yes, that’s his real name) was born a curious Southern boy in Mississippi. Since he moved to New York in 2002, he’s worked on magnificent interactive projects for clients ranging from ‘mom and pop’ to ‘evil empire’. Now, with a strong sense of irony, he has achieved veteran status before the age of thirty.

A Flex and Flash developer for over 8 years, Mims is the co-author of the ActionScript 3.0 Bible. He is the creator and lead architect of the KitchenSync library for tweening and sequencing in ActionScript 3.0 and the senior editor at the Flash development blog dispatchEvent().

Mims is a natural organizer and problem solver whose best insights occur to him in the shower… a balanced mix of cave-dwelling developer and out-of-the-box designer. He does not believe in limitations of the medium, unnecessary meetings, or flash intros.

Mims presently resides in Brooklyn, NY Los Angeles, California where he makes websites for cash.

Roger is the Chief Roger Officer of partlyhuman inc. He lives in, works in, and bikes around Brooklyn. He worries about becoming a hipster as he acquires more skinny jeans, designer glasses, vintage jackets, and Converse shoes. At least he doesn’t have that many ironic shirts. Roger is an energetic chap who loves animation, comedy, cooking, dining, listening, dancing, reckless abandon, biking, travel, video games, and above all else, summer. He doesn’t really enjoy talking about code. He has a very love-hate relationship with sleep, and a mean cat. He has constructed an outrageous movie theater in his apartment. He has those shoes with wheels in them (omg).

Roger loves you! Contact Roger now.

Caleb Johnston

Contributor

Caleb is a full-time Masters student at Cornell University. Before that, he spent some time wandering the New York interactive agency scene at places like Your Majesty, HUGE, Big Spaceship, and AKQA. Though he loves working with Flash, Caleb loves programming for GPUs even more. Caleb doesn’t own a TV so he remains unexposed to the cultural degradation produced by shows like Dancing with the Stars. One day, Caleb hopes to amass enough wealth to retire, possibly in Europe or Asia, maybe even with a wife and kids.
