#songsincode

The #songsincode Twitter meme is three days old and just now declining as a trending topic, but I suspect it will remain interesting for a little while longer, even for boneheads like me whose coding skills extend no farther than rudimentary Java. (nimble html scripting doesn't count, does it?) (fair enough. not my day job.)

It's a slow parse for me to make out most of them, but that's half the fun. That, and watching geeks at play.

If you've got a thing for geeks.

Or for watching the sociology of a pissing match unfold.

@asmitter has planted his flag in establishing how the meme came to be if you'd like to read his account, and @jerub just threw together a database for voting up your faves.

Memes usually make me cringe a little
This one seemed different.

The concept:
a. Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search.

b. Using only the first page, pick an image. (Editor's Note: I read this too fast -- and forced myself to use the first image within each search result.)

c. Copy and paste the html into your blog or Flickr stream. (Ed. At dogfaceboy's suggestion I used BigHugeLabs Mosaic tool. worked like a charm to get those images that folks didn't want to share as thumbs.)

The Questions:
1. What is your first name?
2. What is your favorite food?
3. What high school did you go to?
4. What is your favorite color?
5. Who is your celebrity crush?
6. Favorite drink?
7. Dream vacation?
8. Favorite dessert?
9. What you want to be when you grow up.
10. What do you love most in life?
11. One Word to describe you?
