Aardvark'd Shmardvark'd

So I got this DVD called "Aardvark'd: 12 Weeks with Geeks". It's a DVD about the summer internship of four guys at the Fog Creek Software company. What makes their internship cool I guess is the fact that they got to develop a product from start to finish. I bought the DVD since I thought it would get me a prospective into the inner workings of a start-up like atmosphere. But in the end, I was disappointed. Maybe the aim of the movie was to make people realize that geeks do more than just program, that geeks can be funny, and that geeks are real people. I guess it does a good job of that, but it doesn't make for entertaining content.

Probably one of the main reasons I decided to get the DVD is because I saw that Paul Graham was in it. And I love that guy as I've said before. But he ends up just talking for a few seconds. Damn... So after the movie, I decided to get Graham's book "Hackers and Painters". We'll see how that turns out.

So back to the movie. Out of five pocket protectors I give it... two pocket protectors. I slightly regret buying it, but in the end, I'll probably end up watching it one more time... with the director's commentary... when I'm really bored...and it's raining outside.
