Nostalgia 2D

Was going through works reflecting my good old days as a programmer boy who cherished each and every moment of pixels manipulated. Now after 12 years, here I am doing a doctorate in Computer Graphics. But I should say here that if it hadn’t been for Flash then it would have been difficult to imagine that alternate version of me. Could have been anyone, President, Guru, Mafia boss, pretty much anyone. Thank you Flash, my digital mother.
