I'm a software developer living in Midtown, Atlanta. I wrote the MetaForum software in 2004. More recently I've been doing Ruby on Rails development for a startup named Vitrue. I also maintain the Forum Atlanta messageboard. Feel free to stop by and say hello!

Boom di ada

It’s been a long, long time since a dumb advertisement has actually made me smile. Primarily due to the fact that I probably haven’t heard this song since the 2nd or 3rd grade, to the point that memories of such are nothing but dull vagaries of something familiar and safe. I’m not being afforded anything even so concrete as a specific time or place, just a dull nagging remembrance of childhood.

Of course the part right in the middle with some douchebag shooting a rocket launcher into someone’s house kind of ruins it but the rest was a home run. I won’t get into a whole discussion about how that entire show (future weapons) in no way deserves to be on Discovery’s programming lineup considering how the rest of their shows are dedicated to science, learning, and exploring the natural world — so instead, just enjoy the song. The cameo from a certain ’synthesized’ character near the end just made my day too.

Honestly this is a super-bowl caliber spot they’ve got here. Kudo’s to Discovery and whoever came up with the idea!
