Lynda.com's FlashForward Conference has been a constant spring of refreshment for me over the last few years, and I was recently disheartened to hear rumors of its pending demise. Thankfully, however, the rumors were just that.

Minutes ago, I received an email from Lynda herself (okay, so she sent it to everyone on her mailing list) assuring me that FlashForward would indeed live on through a new owner by the name of Beau Ambur, CEO of Metaliq, an interactive application development company. I don't know much about Beau, but Lynda seems to speak highly of him, so he can't be all that bad.

Anyways, if you've never been to a FlashForward conference before, I highly recommend going sometime. Every time I go, I'm reminded all over again why I love Flash, and I'm just pleased as punch to hear that it will continue.
