Aren't the side projects the real projects in the end? :) I remember when we had to design a service and an interface for it in Flash in college. The university did not provide an Adobe license, so the license would run out right around the examinations, assuming you hadn't installed it earlier to play around with. They basically wink-wink-nudge-nudged people into pirating the whole thing. Had we had something like this, things would have been so much easier in every conceivable way. Working with Adobe Flash was perhaps the worst experience of my time in college. It's funny to think about sites like newgrounds.com and kongregate.com and how HTML5 might challenge the domination of Flash.
