But her husband? I think he's hot. It seems to me he must be Austrailian, or else he's got a hella weird American accent.

I keep looking for evidence that he's Dustin Hoffman's love child (it's the voice and the nose). I think I discovered that he was born in England, and that he attended college in the US. I have no info on his location during the intervening years.

Co-worker and I just snarked so hard we drew an audience. He'll pay for calling me grandma, the whippersnapper, and he'll darned well learn how to pronounce my name right.

ok, I made guesses for the resume. To the best of my memory, I am not lying.

ION, said resume now submitted for actual positions with actual people. crossing fingers and toes that I at least get interview experience out of this first wave.

I think I completed 80-90% of my to-do lists today so I should go home soon.

so I should go home soon

Yes! Before you hit 100%, or .. or ... wait, what happens when one does everything on one's to do list?

English! Ok, that fits too. I have to IMDB him; I KNOW I've seen him elsewhere...

EDIT: He's been in lots, but what I remember (god knows why) is "Meet Joe Black."

I will not complete 100% as two of the tasks require developing plans from scratch and I have no energy to do that.

I had to laugh at the pendulum experiment in the last ep, though. That so would not work. I suspect there is a combination of actual math/science and lots of hand-waving.

Yeah, I looked askance at that bit myself. I like the show a lot, and I think the actors are great. I worry that they're going to run out of math solvable crimes, though.

As a network exec, I'd make them give me, like 30, before agreeing to continue. Not plots, just solvable and reasonably distinct crimes.

Then again, House is still on the air, and it doesn't really look like it varies much. The methodology, I mean. The medicine is Aramaic to me. Can you imagine the bills incurred by their diagnoses? Or lack thereof?

New Yorkers, I'm going to be on the radio tomorrow.

Sounds of Blue with Bob Putignano
Wednesday 9:00A to 1:00P on 89.1 WFDU-Fm

I think I'm going to be on between 11:30 and noon East Coast time.

I wonder about the math in Numbers, though. I take it on faith, cause, so not mathy, but I found myself wondering what would all the math-oriented B'tas think? Is this all accurate, or TV bullshit?

Most of the equations, at least as far as I've been able to tell, have looked like they actually do what he says they're supposed to do, within the field where they're usually used. The part that makes me most skeptical is just that taking those equations and trying to apply them to human behavior will be anywhere near accurate, but that's pretty much an issue with the premise.

I was also kind of iffy on the episode where he was so obsessed with the P=NP problem -- that deals with a field of math that's pretty much as far as you can get from what they've usually shown him doing and still be math. There've also been a few lines where the actor just got the emphasis wrong, and it was pretty obvious that he had no idea what he was saying.
