Fake Steve Jobs put on the map the wonderful insanity of the fake celebrity blog. (I’m sure there were others before Fake Steve Jobs, but that’s the one that made it cool and hip.) Copycats sprung up, from Fake Steve Ballmer to Mock Mark Cuban, but none of them really had the staying power of good old Fake Steve Jobs. (movie trailer voice) Until now.

Introducing Walt Mosspuppet, a fake video blog starring a puppet version of the technology reporter.

I love this guy.

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
