December 1st is special for a few reasons. Firstly it is Jonathans' 37th birthday! Happy Birthday Jonathan, and earlier in the month on the Jonathan Coulton Forums the fans were picking a day to celebrate Jonathan and his music and December 1st seemed a great day to pick.

On December 1st (which is Saturday) all fans of Jonathan Coulton should spread the word how ever they can (see forum for ideas http://www.jonathancoulton.com/forums/comments.php?DiscussionID=298&page=1 )

Some ideas include:

  1. Writing the web address on the sidewalk in chalk
  2. Printing off bookmarks and taking them to you librairy and bookstores
  3. Blogging/Commenting across the interwebs
  4. Getting you favourite podcast and radio programs to play him
  5. Telling everyone you meet that day it is JoCo day
  6. Contacting you local newspaper and telling them what you are up to

So go tell the world!

There haven't been many videos on the Jonathan Coulton Project in the past year, and all of those were contributing artists, not me.

Yes it's been an entire year since I actually made a video my self!

Well I have done it. I actually started this video back in June. And although it is completly the wrong date to release it, I'm going to anyway, because that is the type of guy I am.

Enjoy the First of May in October.

The Orange Box that contains many first person shooter type games has a song at the end written by Jonathan Coulton, and after much dicussion and searching, those clever people over at the Jonathan Coultons' forums have found it on the interwebs (note: it apparently has spoilers for the game in):

Video of end credits where it is found: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/116006.html

For those who don't know, I finally got to the USA and saw JoCo perform live. And it was everything I expected and more.

There was even an unplanned performance of Sweet Caroline. Gle3nn went to the next show JoCo performed, and the fact that Sweet Caroline had been performed was a well know fact, so no suprises it was performed again, except this time there was a video camera:

Enjoy! I know I did.

In Podcast news, the next video has been delayed by a month. Expect it in 5 weeks, although no promises.

Mike Tam has produced another video, this time it is The Future Soon.

It's another video made using Halflife 2 and Garry's Mod. It is very well done.

Mike's website is: http://www.firedrakefilms.com/

Thanks once again Mike for letting the Jonathan Coulton Project host the video.

Maybe this will mark the start of season 2 of the Jonathan Coulton Project? Who knows?

Sorry about the lack of content, I promise I haven't given up, I still have plans to release more, but it will be occasional, rather than regular.

In the mean time, JoCo is going to stream his show live this week (3rd of May) from Johnny D’s. Paul & Storm go on at 9:30pm (USA East Coast time), and JoCo will be some time after that.

I won't be able to watch it my self, 9:30 would be about 3:30 am in the UK, and on a work night too!

Here is the stream, or you can find it via Jonathan's offical website:

So what have I been working on that has kept me so busy?

The answer is, I am helpping Jonathan Coulton with his web site.

The first stage has just been released, which was a rebuild of the song details page. Now each song has not only the lyrics, but tabs for videos, guitar tabs, and the introduction from Jonathan.

More to come later.

Hi all, as mentioned in my last post, I have been working hard on a JoCo project. Today is the big day, it will be announced later today (hopefully) on Jonathan Coulton's website.

See if you can figure it out before then.

Hi all, sorry for the lack of content. What with Christmas, then the expansion of World of Warcraft coming out (yes I'm one of those people) I haven't had any spare time. And I haven't had any submissions from other authors recently.

And now I am working on a 'secret' project...well it's not a secret really, but I'll keep it secret for now. It does mean I won't be making any videos in the near future, but this is not then end, just a pause in proceedings.

 Hi everyone,

I'm going to ask a favour. If you have a web page, blog, podcast, etc. Can you please link to this site, the eCard and directly to Jonathan Coulton's website.

The point of this podcast and the eCard is to get people to hear Jonathan Coultons music, but I need your help getting higher in the search engine rankings.

The links you need are:

This Site: http://www.JoCoVideo.com

eCard: http://www.kerrin.co.uk/cgi-bin/ecardDB.pl

Jonathan Coulton's Site: http://www.JonathanCoulton.com
