This from the Wired Blog Network today:
GeekDad: You recently performed "Still Alive" (closing theme of the videogame Portal) at San Francisco's Great American Music Hall, on the video game Rock Band. Your back-up band was comprised of additional geek-celebs Leo LaPorte [sic], Merlin Mann, and Veronica Belmont. As a foursome, if you were The Beatles, who would each member be, and why?
Jonathan Coulton: Well, based on the instruments, Leo would be Paul, I guess Veronica would be George, I'd be John, and Merlin would be Ringo. That doesn't quite feel right though, especially considering that Veronica was the only one who kept us from bombing out of that song much earlier than we did. So I have to give the Ringo award to her for that one. And in that case, let's say that Merlin is then both George and John, and I can be George Martin (please please please let me be George Martin).

And what do you know. There were one or two people with cameras at Jonathan Couton's SF concert. Who woulda thunk it?

And this from １年前、Lifehacking.jp, about Merlin Mann of MacBreak Weekly
趣味だけど、プロのように…
この話題は 43Folders の Merlin Mann がビデオブログを行なっている、The Merlin Show の第二回、Jonathan Coulton とのインタビューの中ででてきたものでした。
この Jonathan という人は元々プログラマーでしたが、音楽活動も趣味で行なっており、その趣味を「仕事」とするために、一つの驚くべきプロジェクトを開始します。それが Thing a Week という、１週間に１曲を作曲して無料、あるいは安価でリリースするという活動でした。
毎週１曲ということは１年間で52曲となります。それを調子がいい週であっても、悪い週であっても、出来のいい歌で自信があってもなくても、金曜日がくれば強制的にリリースするというわけです。
この実験によって、Jonathan な以下のようなスキルが身に付いたと述懐しています。
