Inside Jack is Cool (dude)
Just last week, thanks to Sara Dornsife, I discovered the irreverant Jack, whereas Doc Searls posted a link on his IT Garage last summer!

"Inside Jack" is a laugh-out-loud flash-toon series about a coder named Jack (and "no, he will not fix your computer.")  The irreverance, the creativity and the love of  parody is one of the things that I like about Sun.  After all, if you're not having fun when you're working hard, what is the #@*& point?

#1 - The first Inside Jack flash-toon is about the controversial, ill-understood Sun/Microsoft agreement.  (Love you, man.)
#2 - This is my absolute favorite - an Inside Jack about Solaris 10.  (Gold star to the first person who guesses who Mikey is.)
#3 - Inside Jack - Episode 3 is about the phenomenal Sun/AMD partnership.  (Talk about a marriage made in heaven!)

[Update on 5/22/05: Latest Inside Jack now available at:]
#4 - Dual Core Sun Fire V40Z

And just remember - no animals were injured in the creation of the Inside Jack flash animation. :-)

Kool! Episode 2 was offline for quite some time, looks like the word "Linux" has been replaced with "Red Hat Linux". Ep2 rules because Scott talking Klingon is awesome, he should really do that at some point. ;)

As for "Mikey" might be Adam Leventhal, but sure looks more like Mike Shapiro to me.

Gold star to the kilt-wearing, passionate OpenSolaris enthusiast Ben Rockwood (who according to the blogosphere is not a big fan of marketing types - uh-oh!) "Mikey" is in fact Mike Shapiro.

w00t! Now that I think about it, the name "Mikey" might have been a giveaway... I honestly didn't think about that, I thought the name was a throw back to the LIFE cerial commercials - "Get Mikey! He'll eat anything!... He likes it! He likes it!"
