You remember Emily of course, the person responsible for this excellent Code Monkey Dance (she continues to be proud to be awesome, as far as I know). I was asking her about maybe including her video on the DVD in some way, and she thought it would be fun to make a montage of lots of other people doing the dance. I agree completely. To that end, Emily and I encourage you to take video of you (or your baby, or your cat) doing the dance and submit it to the email address she’s set up for this: needamontage[at]gmail[dot]com. If you have questions about format and such, I’m sure she would be happy to answer them (I will stay out of it, so as not to complicate things). I should also make it clear that this may end up on the DVD and/or YouTube and/or who knows where, so please don’t submit anything you don’t want me to use that way – I will also ask you to sign a release at some point.

But for now: dance, monkey.

I have no idea if this is a reference to my song, or merely a use of the pre-existing term Code Monkey, but it is exciting nonetheless. Thanks to the many people who passed this link along…
