I was reading through the backlog of stuff in Google Reader today and came across a Vitamin article by Drew Wilson about creating a better CMS and while I generally agree with his points the thing that most intrigued me was the mention of the ad he created for is product Firerift. While I can't say too much about the product as I haven't tried it out yet the commercial is really pretty sweet (at least for a CMS). Actually come to think of it I don't think I've ever seen a commercial for a CMS before.

Oh yeah, and the fact that he used music from Underoath is pretty darn cool too. The song is "Casting Such a Thin Shadow" if anybody was curious.

I've just started up my own personal subversion repository for any of the various (non-classified ;-)) projects that I'm working on. Everything in there will be open source of some sort and as time goes on I'll be sorting through some older code that I've written to see if there is anything useful worth checking in. For now the only thing I've put in there is my pybind stuff. You can find the repository at http://mike.crute.org/svn

Because they encourage crazy people to do stupid stuff like post to their blog at 2:00am instead of getting some freaking sleep, that's why. And you can do it all from the comfort of your bed. Oh wait... maybe that makes them awesome not evil :-).
