SkyMall Captions
Also, I keep meaning to post to these other things that make me laugh: captions written on SkyMall ads by my friend Melissa. There are these and also these others.
So Geeky
Saw this on Waxy – LOLCODE, a coding language based on LOLCats. My favorite example is this HelloWorld routine:
HAI
CAN HAS STDIO?
VISIBLE “HAI WORLD!”
KTHXBYE
Why in the world is this so funny to me?
Next Time: Private Jet
Just to wrap up this Canada story: I was unable to get to Toronto at all this weekend. So the clever folks at NXNE had the idea to do the interview anyway via webcam. I sat in my Brooklyn studio in front of my iSight camera and did the Saturday afternoon interview with Clive who was sitting in front of a camera and an audience in Toronto. Played a couple of songs, took a couple of questions, drank a beer. It was yet another nice demonstration of the fact that to do this job, I really don’t need to leave the house.
Code Monkeys
I’ve gotten a few emails about this as the promos have begun their heavy rotation: the G4 television network has a new show called “Code Monkeys” about some programmers at a game company that’s animated in the style of an 8-bit computer game, and they’re using my song as the theme (I mean, how could they not really?). To answer your questions, yes I do know about it, and yes they got permission, and yes a certain amount of money changed hands, so it’s all official: I have sold out.
Please begin the backlash…
