A bright and sunny weekend in Seattle and an overcast sky in New York for months to come.

Wall Street Meltdown – 2007

This video was inspired by the bizarre sequence of events on the Street in 2007. The use of Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire” came from a hilarious internet parody song “Here Comes Another Bubble” by the Richter Scales (available on YouTube). They did such a good job, I thought Wall Streeters everywhere deserved a parody of their own. This version does not have anywhere near the same sophisticated flash software but here it goes.

The video was produced for non-commercial amusement purposes only and is not intended to offend any people, companies or countries appearing in the video.

 

IBM – WebSmart

WebSmart, like it’s green screen predecessor, is not a case tool. It’s a program generator.

When a new program is created in WebSmart the user runs a wizard that in which the user selects which existing files to use in the program, how the files are related and what the program should do by choosing a template. A full featured program is then generated that includes PML and HTML. After that, the user is on their own to customize the HTML and PML (Program Macro Language).
