I know I just posted my love for Keyboard Cat like a week ago but then I got sick of it because I kept hearing the music everywhere. But a coworker single-handedly brought the meme back with this wonderful video of the most awkward moment of this past week. Hello, press conference people, there’s a reason why we use teleprompters and scripts. Also, James Cameron should always walk onto a stage with the Terminator music playing the background…either that or Celine Dion’s Titanic song.

This story on Neatorama/Fox News caught my eye, because not only does nerd romance make my heart feel all warm and mushy, the name Bernie Peng caught my eye:
Bernie Peng reprogrammed Tammy Li’s favorite video game, “Bejeweled,” so a ring and a marriage proposal would show up on the screen when she reached a certain score.
Li reached the needed score — and said yes.
Hey! Wait! I know a Bernie Peng! He was a Computer Science programming genius in my freshman year unit at Brown. It was really funny to watch all the freshman guys take CS4 (was that the right class? Oh my god, I’m getting old) and flounder around as they had to code programs like pizza stacks (????) or tetris, while Bernie would finish the assignment in less than an hour.
So I wasn’t surprised that he managed to do the following:
[Since the AP won't tell you, we will: Peng not only "reprogrammed" "Bejeweled," but ported it part and parcel to the Nintendo DS, which has no official "Bejeweled" version. He gave his lady the DS version as a gift, which obviously had an important Easter egg hidden inside it.]
Plus, I knew it was him cause the article linked to his xanga. Hahahah, oh xanga. Whatever happened to xanga?
Well, congrats to him. :)
I wish I was a guy, cause this is giving me some really awesome marriage proposal ideas. Like, right in the middle of a battle on Halo 3, or somehow modding a Rock Band song to play the wedding march? I’M A GENIUS.
NOT.
