Jonathan Coulton: Code Monkey MP3

Interesting song for the geeks in the audience. If you’ve never made a living as a code monkey many of the jokes will be lost but it should be funny for most of you geeks. http://www.jonathancoulton.com/music/thingaweek/CodeMonkey.mp3

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.”).

That’s one scary cat.

Jack, a 15-pound orange-and-white cat, cat sits under a treed black bear in a backyard in West Milford, N.J., Sunday, June 4, 2006. When the bear climbed down, the cat chased it up another nearby tree. Neighbor Suzanne Giovanetti thought Jack was simply looking up at the bear, but soon realized the much larger animal was afraid of the hissing cat. The cat’s owners called it away and the bear ran off. (AP Photo/Suzanne Giovanetti)
