MacSpoof: Ruby on Rails VS Java

Right from the Digg / Technology feed, an awesome parody of the popular Mac vs PC commercials: Ruby on Rails vs Java.

Absolutely funny .

Programming in the movies

Have you ever noticed those – irritating and not real - crisp animations and insane GUIs populating any software in a hollywood movie? Of course you did .

I spotted via //engtech a cute post @ Drivl.com about “what code DOESN’T do in real life (that it does in the movies)” .

It’s amazing. Still laughing .

Can’t anybody else do it?

No need to comment I suppose .

Original post by Seth Godin.

Please, stop evolution!

This post @ //engtech is one of the funniest (geek humor) posts ever…

Have a look!

“Give me a ballpark figure!”

Yeah, this is a tech-oriented blog… I should not be posting prank calls! But… just listen up to this one.

I spotted it on an italian IT job newsgroup, and on this blog post too. Amazing! The little girl is awesome . I like the irish accent a lot too.

Breaking the 5k hits barrier

I’m glad to see my blog reaching 5000 hits in less than 2 months of activity. I know it’s not much at all, and I hope to see hits going up day after day, but I’m happy to know a few thousands people went through my posts and thoughts.

After 2 months I can state with a reasonable confidence that blogging is addictive, blogging platform developers should warn users.

It’s absolute fun…here it follows the best excerpt in my opinion:

“I advise you to run up and look at the house my neighbor built last year, as we like it a great deal. It has many things that we feel we need in our new home, particularly the 75-foot swimming pool. With careful engineering, I believe you can design this into our new house without impacting the construction cost.”

Great comparison … still laughing .
