Things for watching

Coming soon (whether you want it or not): A rather highbrow retelling of my experiences at and around the First Language Creation Conference. In the meantime, here are some interesting things to watch. Apparently video on the Internet is the thing these days.

• Gaze upon my mighty visage and green goose-down coat in this trailer for an MC Frontalot documentary. I stand by what I said: Nerdcore is fine, but count me out of "dorkcore." (If you want to talk dorkcore, strike up a conversation with that guy who claims to make children's software with metadata. I don't know that guy.)
• Ze Frank's The Show is a "vlog" (is that pronounced vee-log or just ... vlog?) that I have come to enjoy. Imagine the Daily Show, compressed to a fine powder and cut with cocaine.
• Those with even the meanest interest in the proceedings of the conference mentioned above should not miss Sally Caves' talk. She's writing a book about Hildegard von Bingen!
