September 18th, 2007

This is a short freaky video with a stupid crazy song. And I like it :) And 2,3 million people like it as well. And basically it is an ad of a software development company.

I don’t know how many sales they managed to get but to my understanding it should not be a bad year for them indeed.

Wikipedia Killed Programmer’s Day

September 16th, 2007

13 September is a Programmer’s Day - an informal celebration of the 256th day of the year (256 is a power of two, i.e. 2^8=256). Unfortunately wikipedia has deleted the page of this holiday for the reason “Imaginary/joke holiday.” What a shame :)

Interview at Google
