The Story Behind “Keyboard Cat”
Another internet meme made the big time today – today’s edition of CNN’s “American Morning” ended with anchor Kiran Chetry announcing that they would be “played out” by “Keyboard Cat”. In case you haven’t yet seen them, Keyboard Cat videos all follow the same formula:

What, no “Can of Peas Ultimate” and “Can of Peas Team System”?

I’ll admit it: I like typing out the phrase “assless chaps”. Here are a couple more photos of me showing off said assless chaps in the speaker’s room at Saturday’s Toronto Code Camp (which I wrote about in this post).
Here I am holding up the assless chaps prior to donning them:
…and here I am modelling them for the nerd paparazzi:
