Then I suggest that you check out Jonathan Coulton www.jonathancoulton.com. Brooklyn resident and former software writer, Coulton left the corporate world to pursue ummm…whatever it is he does…which includes writing songs for Mtv and producing independent CDs filled with tasty audio gems like “Skullcrusher Mountain” and “Code Monkey.”
Code Monkey like Fritos
Code Monkey like Tab and Mountain Dew
Code Monkey very simple man
With big warm fuzzy secret heart:
Code Monkey like you
Code Monkey like you a lot
While he is waiting for fame and fortune, you may want to take a listen - maybe download a song or two for your favorite code monkey. After all, “he like you alot.”

Depending on what newspaper you read, either aged fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger or aged rock dinosaur Axl Rose beat the snot out of the other in a brawl in nyc on Thursday night. Funny, considering both Axl and Hilfiger look like a couple of old ladys and without their questionable “celeb” status, would certainly have trouble getting into any fashionable nyc club.
But according to this post, Hilfiger went bananas on Axl, putting a solid “check mark” for the designer column in the global “Who’s tougher, Rock Stars or Designers?” debate.

Teenaged Aziz Ridouan had become a bit of a celebrity in France for support and advocacy related to internet music downloading, according to this New York Times article.
The fact that Ridouan is meeting with a bunch of goofy French Politicians over internet downloading laws isn’t nearly as interesting as the fine print in the story which states that The National Assembly in France passed legislation that could force Apple Computer and other companies to make songs purchased on their proprietary online services playable on any MP3 device. Is this similar to forcing record companies to continue to manufacture Cassette tapes for the listening public that doesn’t have a CD Player?
Not really, but it’s worth a discussion anyway.
