Spending my spring break in Oxford England working on the GalaxyZoo.org project. Went to Bletchly park yesterday. This is where some of the very first computers were built during WWII to decode German ENIGMA machine messages. Alan Turing is on of the more famous scientists/mathematicians who worked there. On the way out of town we stopped by the pub that Touring used to frequent...very awing to walk where he used to hang out.

That's awesome! Me and mark are in San Francisco and yesterday we met Leah Culver, she was the lead developer of Pownce before it went under. www.twitter.com/leahculver

Dudes, just saw her pic..... :shocking:
hahahaha
She's okay.
Okay?!? Yeah, she is a little more than okay.
:offtopic:

;D
We also had lunch with Chris Wanstrath, co-founder of GitHub.com. It was amazing. I can't describe the experience in words. If you haven't heard of him you should check out this keynote: http://rubyhoedown2008.confreaks.com/08-chris-wanstrath-keynote.html Then go create a GitHub account.
That dude is the epitome of boring. Can we get some cool geek going on? Battlestar Galactica, anyone?

Deal, but only if it's true! I'll bet you there aren't too many people that will say that guy was anything but boring. It's all subjective anyway; no reason to get upset about my view on attractiveness or boringness.
Battlestar Galactica is the best show ever made lol. Can't believe it is ending, but it is kind of good.

So say we all!
I sense jealousy. Just sayin'.
No.
Chris Wanstrath is like a god among mere mortals. I will be the first to admit my insane amount of jealousy.
Also this is not a video, but another keynote of his:
