I’m moving my videos from drupal to here. It is just too much work without much payoff to maintain it as its own site. More to come here in the future.

Legal Stuff

All the clips on this site are copylefted to drop the bomb productions and its sole member, Eric Mesa. Where others have contributed to a particular video, it is mentioned in the credits.

All of the clips are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.5 License. Where there clips have not been explicitly licensed within the video, I have retroactively licensed it, being the copyright holder - I feel it is within my rights to do so.

While I do not believe in censorship, I do believe in not being a jerk. I’ve got pretty thick skin - I’ve let people insult me in some of the comments. But I will draw the line at racism, sexism, and other -isms. This is my virtual house and I do not have any obligation to let people say whatever they want (or else I’d be letting all the spam comments through). The types of things I won’t allow are the same types of things I wouldn’t allow if you were in my physical house and would probably get you kicked out. I can take it like I can give it out, but I want the comments to be a conversation. I’ve been doing this since 2003 and I’ve not yet had to delete any comments.

I believe in open source and giving back to the community so here are my programs.

Atmel CPU Chips

Cornell Projects

During my undergrad at Cornell, I worked with Rich West to create software in C for the Atmel programmable CPU. We released our software to the general public under the GNU GPL license.

Our first program was to use the Atmel to create a reaction time timer, accurate to within 1 millisecond. We used the Atmel and a 2x16 LCD screen. You can access it on Github.
