It's hard to imagine a world today without the internet despite its relatively short existence. But what would happen if the Internet crashed completely?? This may be the outcome...
While catching up on the latest gadget posts on CrunchGear, I came across this funny video of Steve Jobs battling against Bill Gates. Considering the fanaticism with these companies, I think everyone can find something humorous in this skit. Boot up!
So today, I came across a Digg about this indie-hit song called "Code Monkey" written by former VB.Net programmer, Jonathon Coulton. Jonathon quit his job as a programmer for executive recruiting firms to pursue a career in music. This song was the result of this life change.
I thought that it was pretty funny and worth a Digg but I also found buried in the comments a link to a plethora (non-geeks...that means, a lot) of remixes and animations for the song. So I'm posting an animated version to this blog, but be sure to check out all the remixes (if you like it).
If you really like the song..download the MP3.
Congratulations, Jonathon...another YouTube star is born!
i heart everything web 2.0.
Despite some of the naysayers, I believe there is such a movement or paradigm shift, if you will, in the web space. While I agree that web 2.0 does not relate to a specific technology such as AJAX or DHTML, I see web 2.0 as a gauge of shifting interactivity and collaboration in online communities as well as the interoperability and convergence of these communities into mash-ups. Mash-ups have created hybrid web properties that have furthered social networking and media sharing. Even Time Magazine recognized this shift by naming 2006's Person of the Year as YOU!
So today, on this most sacred of holidays, I present to YOU a valentine in all its web 2.0 glory.
