Here is one of my latest videos… Click on the pic to start the flick.

Summary: Spider Boy dances to cool music and dazzles the crowd with his dance moves. When he gets his groove – he can really move. Very funny and awesome video shows the dance moves from this little boy — who thinks he is SpiderMan. He can dance better than Zefrank.
Credits: Special thanks to the little boy (sorry we do not know his name) dancing at the St. Patricks Festival in Roanoke, VA on March 18, 2006

The original sound track of Spider Boy dancing (the day we filmed) was garbled and had a lot of wind noise, so we remixed and released this video with a sound-track from Kevin McLeod.

Jeffrey Veen has a great article on Making A Better Open Source CMS

What do you think? What’s wrong with your CMS (Content Management System) and how can we make it better? Is your CMS way too complicated, or just the right tool for the job?

Is the Java train heading for a wreck? Years of API bloat, and fat passengers riding in first class, are taking a heavy toll on the Sun software engine. Is Java going the way of COBOL — being crushed by its own weight?

Don’t get your nose bent out of shape over this one, or should I say – don’t get your finger in a ringer…

Some people enjoy things you don’t like very much. People are different. A wise man once said “It’s a good thing everyone does not like the same thing. If everyone liked the same movie, you would go to watch it and the line would be 69 miles long to get into the movie (cinema) theatre.”

There have been flame wars over using TinyURL (or why you should not), and now there is TinyPic. I love it.

TinyPic.com is cool because…

• It’s free (for now).
• You can quickly upload and store pictures and videos.
• It has short URL’s, even if the images or videos are big files
• Seems to be very fast and zippy (at this point).
• Yet another place to host your photos and videos.

I’ll be trying it out for a while. Let me know what you think.
