[edit] Personal
Feld the Codemonkey's name is Moe Feldspar. By day, Codemonkey a mild-mannered CTO of medium-sized software company. By night, Codemonkey like fritos.
Feld suspects Buzz Camp could be The Anonymous Darwinist's ploy to repeat Dan's Bake Sale. In 1993, 80,000 Rush Limbaugh listeners spontaneously organized a bake sale to help caller "Dan from Fort Collins" raise enough money to subscribe to The Limbaugh Letter. Although Limbaugh initially resisted the idea, Dan's Bake Sale helped spark the Revolution of 1994. The Anonymous Darwinist claims to work for Rush Limbaugh. Connect the dots. Codemonkey make no accusations or allegations, but c'mon, isn't it suspicious?
[edit] On The Web
Feld contributes to a variety of forums, webzines, and blogs under assumed names. Boring manager Rob not allow Codemonkey use real name on Internet.
[edit] Involvement with Buzz Out Loud
He doesn't call, he doesn't write, but Feld listens and loves the show. Someday Codemonkey call in with voice like Stephen Hawking.
Joined buzztown following Molly's first appearance on TWiT. Leo said BOL was like a daily TWiT. In his dreams, Codemonkey think.
Long-time listener, first-time buzzer during the bol.pb30.com chat era. Hopes to continue watching and chatting live.
[edit] Episode 672 Post-Show Chatter
Other chatters were buzzing up a summer camp-out, but the hosts were a bit hesitant.
- Feld: "Buzz Cruise?"
- Tom: "Buzz Cruise! Now, there's an idea I could get on board with."
Punny.
[edit] Episode 674 Post-Show Chatter
Hosts had to leave, so chatters were buzzing for an all-day chat session.
- Feld: "BOL on-the-minute"
- Tom & Molly (in golden-age radio voices): "BOL on-the-minute"
Huh? It's an inside-radio history joke: NBC Radio had a short hourly show called News on the Hour which later became a format. CBS Radio one-upped with Up to the Minute News every quarter hour or half hour depending on time slot. Others followed suit. Tech news "on-the-minute" combines both titles into something ludicrous; but not unlike TechTV.
Where are they now? CBS moved Up to the Minute to the TV graveyard shift in 1982. A BBC TV news parody was later named On the Hour. TechTV's demise led directly to the rise of podcasting, thanks to Revision 3, BOL host Tom, guest host Leo Laporte of TWiT, and many others.
That's Codemonkey's revision of history, and he's sticking to it.
[edit] Licensed Buzzologist
Graduated from BOLU March 11, 2008, with a Ph.D. in Buzzology after 8 long Web-minutes of hard work. Learned the important life lesson that if at first you don't succeed honestly (7/10), try again with Google (9/10). Also, practice (with the back button in Safari) makes perfect (10/10). Codemonkey scared maybe he remember too much meaningless detail, not enough important stuff. But, Dr. Codemonkey, Ph.D., think now he demand raise.
