Jodi's Philosophy of Mind class is going to be having a mock-trial of a robot said to be "like Data".

Question: What should she watch in order to get a good idea of who Data is?

Three things I accomplished today:
  • Taught big boss how to use WordPress
  • Learned how to write interactive fiction with Inform 7 (it's a lot easier than you'd think)
  • Successfully navigated a dinner party hosted by someone I didn't know very well yet
Three things that made me happy today:
  • Vegetarian abenkwan (Ghanaian palm-nut soup)
  • Talking with a coworker about "How I Met Your Mother" (there are finally some good episodes again)
  • Jodi offered to watch a Star Trek movie with me soon, not because she likes Star Trek, just because she wants to watch things with me.  (Though if she's going to make that sacrifice, I think we should at least wait until Amanda's back at home so she can enjoy it too.

MS Office 2003 spell-check suggests lingam as a replacement for thlIngan.

And how do I know this? Because I just posted this to a mailing list full of systems librarians:

> Years ago it used to be that the true geeks spoke Klingon.
> THAT was an accomplishment. Now we just have to know the HP canon, far
> easier even if we memorize all of the spells.

tlhIngan Hol vIlaDlaH je.

anyway?")


Sadly, it's a lie. I had to look it up. jIquvHa' jay'. I think that means "I have no honor", but it's quite possible that I just ordered a qagh omelet, hold the qagh.

[livejournal.com profile] magnoliafly and I are so freaking similar!

  • We carry Palm PDAs

  • We have GPS receivers

  • We're house rabbit people

  • We're into Alton Brown

  • We're ST:TNG fans

  • We live in Tampa

  • We both do cross stitch



Honestly, if we weren't already taken, I think I'd have found my new bestest friend. (Well, I'm available if I get a permission slip, but I don't know about her, and anyway she's got a wedding to plan, so she's a bit busy.)
