If you could watch any movie on the big screen right at this moment, what would it be?
What's the nerdiest thing about you?
Isn't that kinda like asking "what's the wettest thing about water?"
Do you have any tattoos? If not, if you were going to get inked, what would you get?
I've actually answered this question a lot lately. No, I don't have any tattoos. Nor will I get any tattoos until sometime in the (hopefully not-too-distant) future when they can be sub-dermal nano tattoos that can shine through my skin and be turned on and off at will. What's more, I want animated tattoos that change with my mood.
Where's my space age, bitch?
If you had a band, what would you call yourselves?
Question submitted by Zoot.
George Dubya and the Patriotic Funk All-Stars, cuz that's how I roll, yo.
What is your favorite cover song?
Question submitted by Ray.
Tortoise and Bonnie "Prince" Billie covered Cravo é Canela, which was originally by Milton Nascimento. Cravo é Canela means "clove and cinnamon", part of the title of a book by Jorge Amado called Gabriela, Cravo é Canela. Here's a link to the original song and the cover.
So, how did you do with that weekend goal? No goal? What did you do this weekend?
Holy crap. I hiked my ass off this weekend at Pinnacles. Christine and I hit Balconies Caves on Saturday and Bear Gulch caves on Sunday. Then we blazed a trail around the reservoir and nearly killed ourselves climbing High Peaks Trail. Pictures pending, but damn, I'm sore.
What's your cell phone's ringtone? What made you pick it?
I've actually been waiting for this QotD, and when it came I was totally unprepared. I created my ringtone with a waveform editor, some effects, and the Cornelius remix of Moby's "We Are All Made of Stars". I wanted something very understated and minimal.
Anyway, when this QotD popped (lil MMO slang ;), I found that I couldn't upload the .wav to Vox. So I hunted around until I found this nifty little freeware app called Switch - which just converts from one audio format to another rather effortlessly. It's earned itself a place in my Apps folder.
Here's the ringtone:
What or who is your favorite product mascot? Why?
Ok, so maybe this isn't an officially-sanctioned mascot or spokesperson, but I've always associated Mr. T with MovableType because they're both powerful and well-designed:
What's the most extreme weather you've been in? A memorable storm? Heat wave? Or something else?
A childhood vacation. I don't remember whether it was Ocean Beach or Virginia Beach. But there was a hurricane. My father, sister and I were actually in the water being tossed about and having the time of our lives while they were issuing evacuation orders. We didn't know at the time that the storm had been upgraded to hurricane status, we were just amazed at how large the waves were. The most extreme weather and perhaps one of the best days of my life.
(No, it wasn't the safest thing to do, but both my sister and I had been on the local swim team and were pretty strong swimmers.)
