Code Monkey
February 23, 2008
I just read a nice article on Yahoo about a programmer, Jonathan Coulton, turned songwriter. It is an interesting article and I encourage everyone to read it.
I haven’t listened to all his songs, but one of them, Code Monkey, really catched my attention. It is about a programmer, his life and his dreams. Not only is this a great song, I think that we geeks can all relate to it (here are the lyrics).
As for me and my life, I am a very happy monkey. I feel I have it all, pretty girl included. As the song says, I am a very simple man with big warm fuzzy secret heart. I just wish my single daughters could find themselves a geeky boyfriend each. They deserve to be as happy as their mom and I.
