Leibson's Law: It takes 10 years for any disruptive technology to become pervasive in the design community. This blog is about the disruptive technologies that either have or will win over electronic engineers, some that won't, and why. Please feel free to link to these blog entries! Written by Steve Leibson, a marketing consultant specializing in lead generation and content creation for high-tech companies, former VP of Content for Reed Business, and former Editor in Chief of EDN.

Dare to Embed It: The Music Video
Nov 8 2009 11:19AM | Permalink |Comments (2) |
Back when I ran the Microprocessor Forum, I created a music video titled “Dare to Embed It” based on the song “Dare to be stupid” by Weird Al Yankovic. Last week, I had dinner with Michael Fisher and his wife Dana. Both worked at Reed-Elsevier with me and Michael did a lot of the audio work, played guitar, and sang backup vocals for the video. The dinner inspired me to dig out the video and post it on YouTube. Here it is. Please rate it highly.

What's nerdier?
This music video or...
...doing your taxes in hex?
...Steve Urkel?
...a Stargate convention?
...a Sheldon Cooper?
...a 39-year-old living with his mother?
I think that video is the (delightfully) nerdiest thing I have seen in my entire life.

Glad you dug this up! You're the ultimate nerd creative person!
