I AM RETURNED FROM SKETCHFEST, which was a lovely weekend of comedies and fellowship, and continues until Feb 4 with many amazing shows to come, so please, Bay Areans, GO ATTEND IT. 

THANKS TO ALL who came to all the fine shows I participated in, but please let me offer SPECIAL THANKS to the humans who came to my solo EVENING OF EXPERTISE on Friday. You humans were amazing, giving me great eagerness as I go forward on this MINI-EXPERTISE TOUR that is in the next few months. If you enjoyed yourselves, please tell your friends in Alexandria, Morris, Tucson, State College, Madison, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, and the fictional city of Chicago ALL ABOUT IT. 

BUT PLEASE KEEP THE MAYONNAISE SECRET, and watch this space for ZAIUS-AS-TWAIN footage to come. 

I WILL NOW RESUME BEING A BETTER INTERNET PERSON, and in that effort, I direct you to read Jonathan Coulton’s thoughts on MEGAUPLOAD AND COPYRIGHT (link corrected!), which is very thoughtful and very funny and not boring and also essential.

I HONESTLY HAVE BEEN FORMING ALL OF MY OPINIONS about tech and the internet based on what Jonathan has to say since 1989, and you should do EXACTLY THE SAME. 

ALSO: up there is his video of “Nemeses” the song he sings with @johnroderick, who has apparently transferred his consciousness into a machine. 

YOU MAY ENJOY THIS VIDEO FOR FREE and, if you wish, make it all over again with sexy dancing WoW avatars, for that YOUR RIGHT.

That is all.
