That PC Guy

The guy from the PC commercials, John Hodgman, has written another book. His first book, Areas of My Expertise, an attempt to compile all world knowledge (minus sports) into a single 264 page book, was great (it was a free download on iTunes a while back). His new book is an extension on this idea (containing history, because we keep getting more of it, and the future, because we still have some left). He reads his own book on the audiobook and is accompanied by Jonathan Coulton, his friend from college who enjoys an underground/cult music following in the nerd/computer programmer/comic book reading world.

Here's their recent appearance at Wired promoting the new book:

that's okay, there are a few good reasons to be part of that world/club. Jonathan Coulton is one of them.
