Songs for Saturday: Astonishment

[mdlbear]

Two rather amazing things this week on Songs for Saturday. The first is this spectacular music video for "Master of Tides" by Lindsey Stirling on YouTube. It's kind of a flash mob production, only, well, just watch it. Potential triggers? Mild ones, probably; I just can't resist a little alliteration: pirates, pyrotechnics, Poseidon; also waving tentacles.

You can always count on Lindsey for a good show. The Behind The Scenes video is also a lot of fun.

 

The other thing that astonished me this week was finding out that I and one of my songs are mentioned on Wikipedia (at the end of Section 1). Does that mean I'm notable, or does that require an article? Maybe just notorious. I'm mentioned at the end of the "Real-Life Implementation" section.

I found this out because I was writing a cover letter for a job with a description that mentioned possibly working with the IETF, and I wanted to prove that I knew my way around the RFCs. So I looked up RFC 1149, and there it was: Paper Pings (A Note on the Implementation of RFC1149).

(Right now citation [6] is just a raw link -- I probably ought to go in there and give it a proper citation.)

I think Wikipedia discourages people from fixing up information about themselves. If you put out a request, though, someone should be able to do it for you. (I burned out on Wikipedia editing a while back after some nasty editing exchanges and no response for months to a mediation request, so I can't really help.)

Congratulations!

Throws confetti! Holds up noisemaker, but decides against it.

Yes, that makes you notable, IMHO!

I had not realized that actually had a wiki page... (IPoAC). I shared that with a couple of coworkers who were complaining about the slow speed in a new office we stood up over the past couple of weeks.


Thank you for the link to the article.

Neither did I, until I searched for it.

You're welcome.

I think that makes you notable at once-removed: that is, you're notable enough to prop up the notability of another thing, but not by yourself :-)
