Jonathan Neal - Ben Alman Dot Com
I never really expected to categorize a post as both “code” and “music,” but you know those “there’s an app for that” iPhone commercials? Well, apparently, “there’s a Ben Alman jQuery plugin for that.”
After I had gone to sleep last night, Jonathan Neal, author of the jQuery SWFObject plugin, jQuery sIFR plugin, CMS.txt and the creator of the yayQuery podcast theme song posted a new track into IRC…
Here’s the chat excerpt:
<JonathanNeal> who was talkin' to me about making a "Ben Alman has a jQuery plugin for that" song? • headcold raises his hand <JonathanNeal> http://music.thewikies.com/jonneal/Jonathan_Neal_-_Ben_Alman_Dot_Com.mp3 <headcold> JonathanNeal: omgomgomg <paul_irish> OMGGOMGOGMOGMG <paul_irish> OMGOGMOGMGoGMGOm <vladikoff-> oh my gah <headcold> OH WOWWOWOWOWOW <paul_irish> me and aj are on the phone right now <paul_irish> and we are FREAKING <paul_irish> OUT <jaubourg> hahahahahaha <headcold> I AM TRYING TO HAVE SEX WITH THIS SONG <ajpiano> HOLY SHIT <headcold> NOT TO THIS SONG, WITH THIS SONG <paul_irish> god damn <headcold> thank you so much, master neal <jaubourg> I do hope we'll have that playing in the next yayquery <headcold> its more than would have dreamt of <JohnResig> JonathanNeal: that's an amazing song <JohnResig> amazing <jaubourg> =) <miketaylr> ZOMG <headcold> it is absolutely pitch perfect <vladikoff-> ben_alman, ^ <jaubourg> now what's needed is a vid to go with it with outdoor sceneries of young people smiling in futuristic environments <miketaylr> or cats <jaubourg> AND cats <miketaylr> yes, AAND <headcold> no, how dare you. nothing further is required <jaubourg> that way you could put the youtube video in any post that requires it :P <jaubourg> what better than a benalman.com ad video answer? <headcold> ben is going to wee himself
I’m a little sad that I missed all the fun in IRC last night, but I was busy trying to keep two rambunctious kittens off my pillow. And just for the record, I didn’t wee myself. But it was pretty damn close.
