Description: Official music video for Grandaddy's song "Jed's Other Poem (Beautiful Ground)." Jeddy-3, a humanoid robot built from spare parts, is a recurring character in Grandaddy's 2000 album "The Sophtware Slump." According to Grandaddy, before Jed's system crashed he wrote poems. Poems for no one. Programmed entirely in Applesoft BASIC on a vintage 1979 Apple ][+ with 48K of RAM -- a computer so old it has no hard drive, mouse up/down arrow keys, and only types in capitals. First open-source music video, code available on website. Cinematography by Jeff Bernier. http://stewdio.org/jed

KoroOutbreak ::: Favorites Great work. It captures the sadness of the song so well, the way we personified these machines in our youth... When the camera zooms out at the end, with the endless code, it's very moving, even though it's just some old computer. 07-10-22 01:24:24 __________________________________________________
