Code Monkey Like You

This is a great bit of Machinima created by Mike Spiff Booth using World of Warcraft graphics and a great Creative Commons licensed song from Jonathan Coulton. It’s a lonely/romantic ode to the socially frustrated nerd.

Videos like this one are one of the main reasons I love the Internet. Jonathan Coulton has a passion for creating music, so he creates new songs and posts them on his website. He uses the Creative Commons license so that people can enjoy and re-use his music for free. MikeBooth hears the song, he gets inspired, and creates a great video - releasing it on the ‘Net for everyone to enjoy. This sort of virtual collaboration is so freekin great!

People can get inspired, create, and share the things that interest them. That is the REAL power of the Internet.
