The stream has started, but notch hasn't begun coding yet at the time of this writing. Those of you who don't know what Ludum Dare is, can check their website at http://ludumdare.com/ - but TL;DR: rapid game dev competition, in 48 hours - Notch (maker of Minecraft) is streaming his participation this year.

Well, it’s a bit too early, isn’t it? Here’s a time-lapse from a year ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZV-AFnCkRLY

This is amazing. Currently there are 12000 people tuned to watch a man program live. Who would have thought that would ever happen... live streaming programming.

It's actually really interesting to see the thought process and programming technique of a respected dev from start to finish of a project. I'm sure I'll learn a lot, more people should do this.

Going to keep it on the secondary monitor.

It's hugely fascinating to watch & listen to him brainstorm on the type of game he wants to build. This is awesome.

This is a great idea. Uncle bob[1] had filmed himself a few times (I've learned a few tricks this way), but making it real time is a lot more engaging.

He was listening to Cliqhop on SOMA.fm a while ago. Now it's some other online radio (I could only make "miss * kiss dot com").

I caught: DJ Anna Kiss, http://www.facebook.com/missannakiss

She DJs a bunch of different internet radio programs. Gotta go find which one it is. :)
