Speaking of other things called Flash, I recently attended Adobe MAX, a tech/design conference put on by Adobe Systems. Oddly enough, it had a few things in common with Comic-Con, though it had an entirely different sort of Flash fans. (That said, I did see one guy at the device lab with a super-hero Flash T-shirt, and on the last day of the conference, I drew a tiny Flash logo on the community chalk board.)
