Wim (now claiming the title of Lady Gaga fanboy) sent me this parody a couple of days ago and it's been running through my head since then. And I'm happy about it.
"Neutra Face"

(Note that it's now available for download under the Youtube "more info" sidebar! Also, media about typefaces is made of awesome.)

Aaaaand I got third place for best talk in the grad student symposium today. Yay me.

Hah!

I love that there WAS a prize system. What did you get? You were the best of the talks I saw, I loved the video.

No physical prize for me, just a warm glow of accomplishment. Second place got a specially printed metal water bottle. Not sure about first place, I haven't seen her since then.

You have seen the Christopher Walken version of "Poker Face" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJDx3H_hvI8), yes ?
