Lee Brimelow and I have just posted an app that we put together while on the first leg of the bus tour.
The app is called flump (Flickr dump), and is a simple application that will download all of the public images from a Flickr account.

Mike Downey and I have put together a web app for the iPhone to make it easy to keep up with the latest news, images and tweets from the tour.
This uses the iui framework which was surprisingly easy to work with.
You can view the app in your browser, or on your iPhone at:
We have just released a version of Danny Dura’s Twitter Camp application for the bus tour. Renamed to TwitterAIRCamp, this has been modified specifically for use on the tour.
The app displays the latest twitter posts / tweats sent to the onAIRBusTour Twitter account, and also shows the last post from the tour’s account.
You can download the AIR file from the tour’s Google Code Repository (requires Adobe AIR Beta).
We’re rolling into Vancouver today after a great event yesterday in Seattle. Elysian Fields was a great venue and it had the same vibe that we had at ApolloCamp in San Francisco. We wanted to capture the feel of that event take it on the road with us and it worked well in Seattle.
The event kicked off with a keynote by Kevin Lynch, the Chief Software Architect at Adobe. He shared an overview of the Adobe ecosystem and explained how AIR fits in. He also gave us a look at AIR and showed off a couple of demo applications including San Dimas and Finetune. He also gave a roadmap for releases. We’re planning to do another release before the end of the year and then a final release in early 2008.
As part of the Adobe AIR applications we are building for the bus, I ran into a need to log information about the app state to the file system. Luckily, Flex has a pretty complete logging framework, so I was able to quickly create a FileTarget class for logging to the file system when running in Adobe AIR.
Here is a quick example:

We have just opened up the on AIR Bus Tour code repository over at Google code. This contains all of the applications and code created for, and during the bus tour.

Right now, there are three main sub-projects in the repository:
