    The story is funny. A guy we (Unbounce) don't even know - from a hockey pool (insert sob story over the Canucks choking) - pulled this off in 20 mins. And no the dude in the video is not Oli (me).

    You might flame me for this - but we're in a race for Canada's top startup and the voting ends at midnight tonight.

    If you're a fan of lean startups, we'd love your vote:

    I saw the same video used for a bit of google + promotion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-llwYjxv8Y
