From a post on slashdot concerning “geeks” earning respect:
I’ve noticed one big difference. When a geek asks me what I do, I’ve been able to give the same answer since 1998: “I work full time for a company maintaining their sites with ASP and SQL Server.” Here’s a chronology of the responses:

Register is reporting Sony trying to stop Beatallica. Sad. Their creations definitely top my list of mashups. These are the real deal; not just splicing together tracks with some EQ’ing and a beat-matcher – this is true parody composition and performance. Amazing stuff.
So, what does one do if in such disagreement [...]

Every day at exactly 15:00, a five-minute exercise (mostly stretches) chimes through the company-wide PA system in a female voice over soothing background music.

Two music posts:
Beatallica — Beatles songs in Metallica style. “Leper Madonna”. “Hey Dude”. Ingenious. Hilarious. Free. A must listen.
Denki Groove’s latest Singles and Strikes. This always happens – I go to a CD store to buy gifts, and walk out with at least one for myself :) Had mixed feelings getting [...]

This is hilarious. I see a coffee-table book in the making! The wide variety of photos make it look legit; the father is obviously someone in the entertainment industry; any one know who?
Update: a quick whois on the site reveals it is Michael Zorek’s son. Google it if you’re curious for more.
