Look, I Have a Theme Song!

I have a theme song, and it even has a video!!


The Future Soon, song by Jonathan Coulton, with the video by Mike Spiff Booth. If you think this is as awesome as I do, drop a little in their tip jar.

Here's another from these two; I think I have worked in this office, but not currently of course.

Code Monkey

P.S. I'm not really sorry if these songs get stuck in your head.

Soon, the future I've been waiting for!

Flying Cars!
Jet Packs!

We need more robots!

Apple's Knowledge Navigator Video

Here are a couple of fun videos from ten+ years ago. Look to see what's actually possible now (mash-ups?), or what's still science fiction ("Minority Report"?)

Apple's Knowledge Navigator Video
Apple's famous Knowledge Navigator concept video which was released in 1998. John Udell founds a copy of this video, and wow - in many cases Apple was spot on target!! This was one of my favorites.
