The Reflex Blue Show, Season 3, Episode 2: Steve Jobs vs. Adobe
April 30th, 2010 | by Donovan BeeryWe bring Steve Gordon back (for the first time in Season 3) to discuss the HOW Conference in June (use Steve’s promo code SG10 to save $50 on registration) and the little fight Apple is having with Adobe in regards to Flash. Is Flash really crashing Macs at a rate that only Stitch was built for? Is Flash bad for iPhones and iPads, but good for Google? It’s so far around the Internets I’m not even sure which tube to link to.
But as important as all of this is, when walking though the local No Frills Wednesday evening, I ran across this year’s new flavors of Mountain Dew – so figured we’d start the show with another taste test. I guess you can vote for your favorite flavor online, but since the site is in Flash, it crashed my Safari browser and won’t show up on my iPhone. Strange. But are trying new flavors of Dew safe? We didn’t know either, so we brought Chris Kelly back to have him test with us.
Let us know your thoughts below, and enjoy.

The Reflex Blue Show, Season 3, Episode 1: The Amazing CS5 Launch
April 16th, 2010 | by Donovan BeeryThe Reflex Blue Show Season 3 looks to be starting just in time to get us geared up for the HOW Conference in June. Can we seriously be less then two months out to the biggest design event of the year? And the second biggest event? Probably the Adobe CS5 launch.
This episode we bring back Chris Kelly to talk about CS5, complain about Twitter’s idea to create intrusive ads into our feeds, and force Chris Kelly get a Twitter account (@amazingchrisk). Follow him!

The Reflex Blue Show, Season 2, Episode 22: Interviewing for a Graphic Design Job
February 26th, 2010 | by Donovan Beery
Every now and then we decide to get serious – a 2 credit stock photo of a handshake serious – this is one of those times.
On past shows we’ve covered freelancing, getting your portfolio ready for an interview (still one of our best podcasts), and getting an internship. But sometimes you just need a straight-up job, and that usually takes an interview. To share the perspective of a younger designer in the this process, we bring in the talented Chris Kelly.
And a special thanks goes out to Mig Reyes for the student tip. When Mig was on the Season 1 finale, he said he’d provide the student tips for Season 2 of the Reflex Blue Show, and he delivered.
We’ll be back in a month with Season 3, which will also include daily recaps from the HOW Conference in June.
