Trackback Love

Scott Reads RSS Poetry

At the Northern Voice Tiki party, Scott Leslie wowed us (well I was wowed) with his rendition of a poem only geeks could grok, called “Trackback Love”. I grabbed some video with my little Canon Powershot- the lighting is awful but the audio is not bad.

    OK, wow, this is glorious.

    Scott, Ingenious. Me, Gobsmacked.
