So I was leav­ing for a smoke break and I had my head­phones in, I just lis­tened to a TWIT episode 133 which fea­tured Jonathan Coul­ton the musi­cian who released the song “Code Mon­key” back in 2006. I hap­pened to have it on my N810 and I was just going to get up for a smoke break.   I started the song and reac­tion hit me, I almost start­ing singing it out loud — not just out loud, I was going to sing it very loudly.   I caught myself.   I had the feel­ing where your vocal codes start to open up and your ready to let a sound loose, well I didn’t hear it by I would assume I prob­a­bly let loose a gur­gle out of throat, it may have been too far gone down the pipeline to shut it off com­pletely with­out leakage.

Now I’m sure Xie is read­ing this slightly amused, to fin­ish off the pic­ture I on the way out of the build­ing I was doing my lit­tle dance type walk.   I’m not a teeny bop­per any­more (well com­pared to most peo­ple here I’m sure I seem that way), but a guy in his thir­ties doing a jerky lit­tle head bop­ping dance while he’s walk­ing out of the office is sure to gar­ner some atten­tion.   So far though no one has said anything.

The best thing I can offer you is to not lis­ten to “Code Mon­key” in your office.   I do sug­gest you check out Jonathan’s site for more of his great music though.   I’ll leave you with the “Code Mon­key” WoW music video.

  • I'm glad that my geekdom rationalization proves that 1 + 1 = love eternal. I try to beat my own drum where possible and there is no one that I would ever love more then my wife.

    I think they quoted it wrong in the bible - it was meant to be "and the geeks shall inherit the earth (and the girls)"

    I love when I catch you doing something in the unique style of Creeva. Nothing beats times like last evening when you were explaining with your uber geekdom rationalization of why we were perfect for each other. You had me at 00110001010111. :P You are a very singular individual Creeva Murkado.

    Girls, cherish your geek.
