Code Monkey Unplugged Lyrics Chords and Tabs
Songwriter Jonathan Coulton dedicates this song to anyone who has served as a code monkey in a software corporation. The song is great stuff but what really struck a chord was when he performed an unplugged version that turned the entire thing into a ballad. So yeah it struck a chord, so I decided to…

My Facebook Behavior Findings
Here are some personal observations of my FaceBook habits. Are yours similar or completely different? Deleting and ignoring apps can be a tedious process.

Safari, oh how I love thee? (let me count the ways)

Dawn of the Blogging Relations Officer
I’ve dealt with with Web 2 companies on several occasions through their Blogging Relations Officer (I kid you not). Yes, there are such positions that exist in the new corporate set up. A BRO or Blogging Relations Officer is in charge of public relations for the blogosphere. Though it may still be far off to…
