The show’s at 9pm, and tickets are being sold at the door for an undisclosed sum somewhere around $10. I’ll probably get there around 8:30, or [...]

Geekdad ran a great interview with Jonathan Coulton today, at the end of which he summed up the Geekdad (and Global Spin) philosophy perfectly:

The RPM Challenge is to record 35 [...]

For some reason, that was going through my head and I decided to google it, since I can’t be the only girl who likes geeks. And I was right! So here it is: Baby Got Brains. It’s a parody of Sir-Mix-a-Lot’s Baby Got Back. Everybody sing along!

I implore you to rush out and purchase Jonathan Coulton’s latest CD, Thing a Week One.  Specifically I’d recommend getting it in old-fashioned CD form, because it comes with exciting new artwork and liner notes from John Hodgman.  It’s the first of four soon-to-be-released discs compiling all the Thing a Week songs I’ve raved about, [...]

I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you
But I get the feeling that you donít like it

–Jonathan Coulton, Skullcrusher Mountain
