Better tools

Two links this morning about improved tools:-

• Seth Godin talks about the removal of "access to good tools" as a barrier to entry. I can certainly identify with that... I've posted a few links to free tools or resources, and I'm constantly surprised by how little you need to invest to start producing quality websites or software.
• Scott Bilas of Oberon asks if Flash can be used for commercial games, and it certainly sounds like it can. It's a long and very thorough article, and it really got me excited about learning to use Flash all over again. Thanks for the link go to Li-fan Chen on the JoS forums.
