I hate myself for it, but I like this song. Guess I'm officially a nerd.

I don't know Swedish. Maybe that's why I like the Swedish version so much.

You guys should check out this tune, if you like starwars:

Battle of Hoth Dance Mix, done by my mate El Capitan

and this one is also pretty nerdy and fantastic, especially for mac fans:

256k mp3 / 56k wma - Sounds recorded from a friend's Apple IIe computer sliced and spliced like a mofo into this, whatever you might call it... This was kinda an idea I had on the spot with my microphone, very cool that it turned out so well, hehe. The sample at the beginning I took from some 1970s vinyl at my local library.

The Computer Code Hoedown is pretty nerdy. Unfortunately I'm not sure whether it's legal to link to it.

Oh my... I demand those two minutes of my life back! Haha that's the corniest thing ever... by the way... Macdraw!? Appleworks?! Why the heck would anyone sing about those?

Anyway... that was exceptionally creepy... That said you want really creepy check out this poem I once read at a coffee house at School.

She's the one for me,
Just wait and see,
You doubt this here?
Come now dear.
Why ignore what's plain,
T'would be insane.
We'll be together.
Regardless of whatever.
Dear ladies of of Providence,
Hold no malevolence.
It's truly your own fault,
Though in your wounds it may be salt.
To have left a man like myself,
So long on the shelf.
I'll forever be,
And this is key,
The one that got away,
I'm announcing today:
I'm in love!
Truly it came from above.
But this is the price you pay,
I'm sad to say,
For not moving in quicker,
Or expressing your interest slicker.
You'll never have another shot,
For me you could have fought.
But now it's to late,
To land a date.
You see she's wonderful,
Beautiful,
Magnificent,
Radiant.
Truly a sight,
Oh you know it's right.
She's elegant and graceful,
Her way entirely tasteful.
She's of impressive stature.
Oh the other men with they could catch her.
Her face lights like a thousand suns,
Illuminating as far as sight prevails.
Sophistication she nails.
Her love for me,
Just let it be.
And mine for her,
Don't let it ruffle your fur.
You had your chance,
Now is gone the hope of romance.
Now ladies as I announce her name,
Your worlds may not be the same.
Your jaws may drop to the floor,
For she's the new 17 inch 1.67Ghz PowerBook G4

A few oldies by David Pogue:

Violent Night

Silent Mac, broken Mac!
System bombed, screen went black.
Books suggested things; I tried 'em all:
Shift key, desktop file, clean reinstall.
Now my deadline is tight,
This Mac's been silent all night.

Violent night, horrible night!
Lost my cool, filled with spite,
Threw my Mac through the balcony door
Watched it fall from the 20th floor,
Now I'm sleeping in peace;
Thank God I had it on lease.

Microsoft (okay, so this one's a bit dated now)

Nine-tenths of a gig,
Biggest ever seen,
God this program's big:
MS Word 15!
Comes on 10 CD's,
And requires -- Damn!
Word is fine, but jeez:
60 megs of RAM!?

Oh, Microsoft, Microsoft, bloatware all the way!
I've sat here installing Word since breakfast yesterday.
Oh, Microsoft, Microsoft, moderation please!
Guess you hadn't noticed -- 4-gig drives don't grow on trees!

AOL the Beautiful

Oh beautiful -- JUST beautiful.
I still can't get online.
Since 4 pm, I've dialed them,
And now it's half past nine!
America, America Online?? --your name's a fraud!
In AOL connection hell
Top speed is zero baud!

The rest of them can all be found here and here.

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!

iPods, Macdraw, Appletalk, Powerbooks
iTunes, Quicktime, Final Cut, Appleworks
iMacs, Panther, Firewire, USB iMovie iChat and iDvd
but the greatest one for me
its been the answer to my dreams
its the best app in the land
the funnest program ever known to man
why, Garage Band


Somehow that has a nice to ring to it.

Not.
