That JoCo dude sounded pretty good too, if I remember right.

Jon Coulton?

Jon Coulton?

yeah, he was part of the sequel.

Jon Coulton?

yeah, he was part of the sequel.

So, how do you guys know of Jon Coulton?

That's a fun mix too, Jack. The intro drums remind me of Walk This Way, or Swingtown, err some tune like that.

I know of Jon Coulton because somewhere I saw a link to his song Code Monkey when it was all the rage on the intarwebs, and now he's like a big ol' superstar for singing geeky songs about mad science and the like.

[Billy's Little Trip]

Ah, cool. He really has a good voice.

edit: Ok, I just went and listened to Code Monkey. Ha, great little tune.

Why did I feel like we've had this conversation before?

[fluffy]

He's been brought up before, on the video game soundtrack thread (he wrote the ending credits song for Portal, although he didn't sing it) and also I think he's been mentioned in other threads as well.

[Billy's Little Trip]

Ok, that must be where I've heard of him.

I got them at a store in very large mall, which also had a place to engrave them right nearby, and the woman at the engraving place made what she claimed was her first mistake in 8 years working there. So she replaced one of the items at her own expense and comped one of the three engraving fees. Nice lady. I never actually signed a liability form, so she could have given me the finger and told me to take the flawed merch and like it, but she did the right thing, treated me more than fair.

I posted the question (was she liable?) on a legal-advice board, and finally got this response:

Like most questions, it depends. A contract does not have to be in writing, but a writing can help prove what the terms of the contract were. If the customer was clear on what the engraving was supposed to be, and the mistake was the fault of the engraver, and the mistake was material (ie, it matters), then the engraver is probably liable.

If the frame was to be for personal, family or household use, then Ohio's Consumer Sales Practices Act may also apply, which can provide some enhanced remedies under certain conditions.
