wwweird. Expected actual retro topics/old computers/software whatever. This is startups talking about their products, while wearing goodwill clothing.

Well compared the most of the current chic apple commercial music videos that most start up choose produce where everything is magical this was quite entertaining and refreshing.

And surprisingly informative when it comes to what they actually do and how does their service works which is more than I can say about half of those start up videos since besides dazzling you with all the music and the stop motion drawings they rarely actually end up explaining what they do.

I thought it was kinda fun :) Though it definitely wasn't what I expected, and took me a minute to even figure out what I was watching.

No doubt. Adam Lisagor is really great at what he does. I first learned about him on a podcast he did years ago with Merlin Mann and Scott Simpson, "You Look Nice Today". It's really funny.
