Kimochi-ii!

August 31st, 2006

YouTube rules. How else could my friend Bruce have dug up this gem of a old Sega Dreamcast racing game ad? The video is pretty self-explanatory, but “kimochi-ii” in Japanese means “feels good.” This screengrab doesn’t do the ad any justice. Just click play; it’s 30 seconds guaranteed to make you smile.

Make sure you watch the whole thing: the punch line comes right at the end, and is worth the set up.

Killersurvey Update

July 4th, 2006

I’ve been working on a site with my friend Tim Kane called Killersurvey. Killersurvey is intended to make it easy for anyone to freely create a survey on any topic and solicit feedback painlessly.

One of the things we’re working on is a simple code snippet component that shows off a survey’s results. I created a survey yesterday on the World Cup final, and here it is:
