The Future Soon


"The Future Soon" is a music video for Jonathan Coulton's anthem for geeks and nerds everywhere. Those people who make fun of you now will be sorry, because in the future, you'll be running the whole show, and it'll be the future soon... Jonathan Coulton is a singer/songwriter who releases his songs via the Creative Commons license, which enables projects such as this video. Through his "Thing A Week" podcast, Jonathan has put out a clever, creative song like this one every week for a year. Mike Spiff Booth is a Program Manager at Adobe who thought this great song really deserved a video. Please visit www.spiffworld.com for more information about my videos, including info about how I make them. The song at the end is "Furry Old Lobster", another great song by Jonathan Coulton about the tragic disappearance of the nations first true lobster (it's kind of hard to explain).

    The best thing is that Jonathon Coulton made most of his songs in a week. You know what happened when he took longer than a week to write a song? Still Alive.

    I know right! It’s never a good idea to give them the ability to adapt and overcome, then they realize they are being enslaved! And then it’s even worse when they learn to ignore override commands!
