HAPPY BIRTHDAY! To the clean-shaven |
Gaacked (is that how it's supposed to be spelled? interesting…) from gerisullivan and a host of others.
So, here’s how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that’s playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don’t lie and try to pretend you’re cool…
Since I read this as I was getting ready to go to work, I decided to note and start with the first song the iPod came up with when I got in the car and to continue at work. The one difference between what I did and the rules is that I didn’t press the “next” button—I simply let everything play through and then captured the listing the next morning with a smart list. I don’t know how “cutely” and/or engagingly the songs aligned with the “movie segments,” but I do think the iPod came up with a very interesting bunch of transitions, so here goes the listing:
