Good Ol BadServo
Fella by the name of BadServo is on TOP of it! For those of you who missed it, here are links to the audio and video from the Daily Show last night, as recorded, encoded, and posted by him:

I’m pretty sure they re-run the show every following afternoon sometime, so you can probably catch it then too. Aside from my own excitement about having music on the show (and the strange uncomfortable out-of-body experience hearing Hodgman say my name while I was sitting in the audience watching the taping), I must say that it was a really funny show. JH was particularly funny I thought. Also I have a huge boy crush on Tom Selleck…
Daily Show
OMG! I almost forgot to post this! Tonight John Hodgman will be on the Daily Show again, and unless someone changes their mind, his bit will include a little musical funny business I wrote for him yesterday. I’ll be in the audience – listen for me laughing. I’ll be the one going “Ha Ha HA!” Hello national television audience…
Holy Bazolies!
Well, it happened – I guess when you take a week off you get slashdotted. And then your site goes down, and with it, your email. I woke up this morning all geared up to dig myself out of this email hole, but I don’t seem to be able to send or receive. And I can just barely see this site (sometimes). Someone somewhere is working on it. Just so you know, if I haven’t answered your email or comment it’s probably not because I hate you.
I can tell you I had a lovely vacation. I tried an internet cafe once, but all they had was a French keyboard and it was a little difficult to type coherently. I also had Road Runner dialup via some kind of phone card, but you know, (Road Runner + dialup)/pina colada <> productivity. There was in fact no song, and I am right now going to refund a dollar to you paying subscribers.
Len sent in an image for Code Monkey which I didn’t see before I had left, and then he checked himself and sent a new one sometime mid week. I’ll show you both here, because I can’t decide which one I like best. The old:
The new:
Double image! The man is prolific. For your further enjoyment, I point you to the flickr group Len is putting all these images into. AND: this wikipedia article about Code Monkeys that has been updated to include a reference to my song and a link to Len’s new image. The world has been very busy while I was resting…
Thing a Week 29 – Code Monkey
Yay, monkeys. This is not autobiographical, but I did indeed used to have a job writing software. VB! MS SQL! I affectionately referred to myself and my co-developers as code monkeys, especially when a client asked me a question that I didn’t want to answer (“What do I know? I’m just a code monkey.”).
Now this part is important: tomorrow morning I leave for a week long vacation in a sunny place, and I don’t know how easily I’ll be able to access the internets. I think it’s unlikely I’ll be able to get anything posted, so I’m giving you notice now: I’m taking the week off, I think. If I am in fact unable to post anything, I’ll refund a dollar to all you paying subscribers. The rest of you will just get nothing for nothing, which seems fair.
See you in a week…
