Ask Jonathan Coulton About the Transformation From Code Monkey to Internet Star

Posted by samzenpus on from the isn't-it-enough-to-know-that-I-ruined-a-pony-making-a-gift-for-you? dept.

Even though he created the definitive guide to enjoying yourself outside, Jonathan Coulton is best known for the programmer anthem Code Monkey, his Thing a Week project, and writing the theme song to Portal. In 2005 Coulton left his programming job to pursue his music career, and has since become a successful one man music label. Jonathan has agreed to answer your questions about robots, life, and internet stardom. Normal Slashdot interview rules apply.
