Search-Engine Optimization In Naming Babies

I've always been irritated with my parents about the billions and billions of times I've had to explain my name's correct pronunciation, but according to the Freakonomics authors, maybe they totally hooked me up.

Are you a hacker who likes to make music? You know how you feel precise control when you write code you understand, but you have to filter your understanding of your music through oversimplified GUIs which sometimes have terrible UX? I made a series of videos which teaches you how to write music sequencing software in Node.js and CoffeeScript. When I do it, I experience a clarity which makes it easy for me to make more exciting sounds. You may have the same experience. Upcoming episodes will also teach you how to use simple probabilistic artificial intelligence to write code which writes its own music (which I've already done in Ruby).
