The Java Report

Another really fun show at Jammin Java this Sunday, even though I was a bit blotto on DayQuil (or maybe because of it). Someone brought a bunch of stuffed animals, mostly monkeys, and put up a sign suggesting that audience members pin money to a monkey and throw it onstage during Code Monkey. I found it surprising to say the least. And profitable. Kind of like a live version of gimme some candy. Whoever that mysterious benefactor was, I thank you. Now: what do I do with all these monkeys?
Still, nothing I or Paul and Storm did that night could possibly match this performance.

Crossover

I spent some time with Ze Frank yesterday covering some of his songs for yesterday’s episode of The Show. I’ve talked about this before, but it bears repeating: for the last almost year Ze has released a new video thingie every weekday and spawned a billion internet memes in the process. The Show is ending this month, and I think I can safely predict he will feel both relief and sadness when it’s over. He’s a smart and funny fellow and I salute him.
