Tech-books publisher O’Reilly Media has launched Code Search, a single place to search all the code examples in every O’Reilly book – 2.6 million lines of code!

The fine folks at gotoandplay.it recently interviewed Darron and me about FC64 – what it’s about, how we did it, and what our plans are. Go check it out!

Darron already blogged it: FC64 won Flashforward Film Festival in the Technical Merit category. Ohhh yeah!
