Thing-A-Week
I recently got into Jonathan Coulton’s music, which I will affectionately term “Geek Folk.” One of his projects that really intrigued me is his “Thing A Week” series. In Jonathan’s own words:
“From September 2005 to September 2006 I recorded a new song every week and released it for free on my website as a podcast. It was an attempt to keep the creative juices flowing as freely as possible, and a way for me to push myself to take risks, work quickly and trust in the creative process. It was also a stunt designed to get people to notice me. It worked, suckers!”
I thought that was a really neat idea and a great way to keep the creative juices flowing, as he says, so I decided I should start my own Thing-A-Week series for Geeksdanz. Below you’ll find my gallery of Things, starting with the most recent.
