So the Seattle Post-Intelligencer has this Geek of the Week feature, which mostly seems to be interviews with random techies, but they did uncover this guy:

A computer science lecturer at the University of Washington, livening up his classroom by busting some rhymes about the joys and perils of Java. Featuring some straight-up gangsta lyrics like:

“You haters are crying ’cause you just can’t cope
My methods are red, man, yours are outside the scope!”

Hey, kudos for making an effort. I’m reminded of some of my college professors who tried to be cool, though usually they didn’t get much farther than the stray New Yorker cartoon in a powerpoint slide. Though on the other hand, if you’re going to have music in a lecture hall, you may as well go all out.
