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.

Okay?!?  Yeah, she is a little more than okay.
I would rather be hated for doing what I believe in, than loved for doing what I don't.

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.
