Dilbert Like Fritos
I have no idea if this is a reference to my song, or merely a use of the pre-existing term Code Monkey, but it is exciting nonetheless. Thanks to the many people who passed this link along…
London Calling
This is not a definite thing yet, but I see no harm in mentioning it now: it’s entirely possible, I’d even say likely, that I’m going to be playing a show in London on 3/20. (Or I guess if you’re in London, 20-3. I think. To be perfectly clear March 20th is the date. March 20th, which is about three weeks from now.)
There’s something else that needs to come together that will get me over the ocean on an airplane, and if that happens then the London show is a go. I hope to have ticket links and show time specifics in the next day or so, but the venue is going to be Dingwalls.
This is a real test of Eventful, and the power of the internet blah blah blah. There are 159 people demanding me in London, if most of them buy tickets we should be in pretty good shape. But the capacity at Dingwalls is 487, so there’s plenty of room for everyone, ha ha ha.
More soon! London! Holy crap!

This will only make sense to you if you were at the San Francisco show (or if you have a time machine and have already watched the DVD).
Me on TWiT
Back before G4 ate TechTV I used to watch Leo Laporte all the time on Screensavers, so it is with great pride that I tell you I was a guest on This Week in Tech yesterday. It was extra special because we also got the band back together (Leo, Merlin Mann, Veronica Belmont) to discuss our triumph/epic fail in Rock Band at the San Fran show Friday night. Tom Merritt of CNET and Ryan Block of Engadget were on the line too, because that is how I roll now.
Fair warning, it’s essentially an hour of talking about me (and niche broadcasting), which I always enjoy, but which you may have had enough of by now. Thanks Leo!
