The Future Soon video

You can support Spiffworld by checking out the fantastic leveling guide at www.glutonysguide.com. This guy broke the record for speed-leveling to 70, and his guide can teach you to do it too. "The Future Soon" is a music video for Jonathan Coulton's anthem for geeks and nerds everywhere. Those people who make fun of you now will be sorry, because in the future, you'll be running the whole show, and it'll be the future soon... Jonathan Coulton is a singer/songwriter who releases his songs via the Creative Commons license, which enables projects such as this video. Through his "Thing A Week" podcast, Jonathan has put out a clever, creative song like this one every week for a year. Mike Spiff Booth is a Program Manager at Adobe who thought this great song really deserved a video. Please visit www.spiffworld.com for more information about my videos, including info about how I make them. The song at the end is "Furry Old Lobster", another great song by Jonathan Coulton about the tragic disappearance of the nations first true lobster (it's kind of hard to explain).
