Last month, Dice had a programming contest with a prize of $4,000.  My entry, using Flex, was selected as one of the ten finalists.  Go check out the 10 mashups and if you think mine is the best vote for Buried Treasure. Thank you!!  Here is the link to place your vote. Voting lasts until May 31.

Also, I had a previous blog post on the challenges I ran into while creating my entry. If you are trying to put a Google Map inside a Flex application AND need Flex content to appear over the map, you’ll find it helpful.

Update: I placed third.  The voting results are posted here.  I was quite surprised at the vote.  I thought I would finish first or second and the maps application I thought would probably win ended up placing next to last.  I think that is the last of the contests for me.  Only paying clients going forward.
