Give The SongADay Man A Little FaceTime

Okay, so maybe I'm a bit of an Apple fanboy — I've got a MacBook Air, an iPad and now the iPhone 4 — but their products are just fun. Like the kind of scifi gadgets we were promised 30 years ago come to life. I haven't had any problems with the antenna on my iP4 (and the warnings about not using the "Death Grip" sound more like cautions against poor masturbatory technique: "Just don't hold it like that!")

Thanks to TechCrunch this morning, I've been turned onto SongADay Man, Jonathan Mann, who apparently churns out a novelty song every day. Today's offering is on the eve of Apple's press conference about what's going on with the new iPhone and is entitled, appropriately enough, The iPhone Antenna Song.

And here it is...

Time To Not Take A Stand

Global Warming versus Climate Change versus Natural Cycles. Peak oil versus Abiotic oil. Diet Coke versus Coke Zero. The world has become increasingly fractionalized to the point that, even when you decide what it is you stand for, there are often more sides to your side than you originally thought.

Maybe it's time to just lay low for a little while. Let the dust settle on some of the more ridiculous conflicts and take a few moments to try and figure out exactly what's going on. Even that's not always easy with peer pressure, special interest groups and tea party rallies.

Which is why I've created a way to look like you're involved in something specific. Something Important. Maybe even something dangerous so that people think twice about enlisting you for their particular cause.

It's time to join the T.D.S.F.A. Which stands for This Doesn't Stand For Anything.

I've put together a mishmash of Mystic Symbols that look like they should mean something. The sign of an Ancient Order, perhaps, from the dawn of time. But, no. It doesn't stand for anything.

But it sure looks Important.
