Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

Coding and Sleeping

I thought Tex-Mex was defined by Alamo Cafe in San Antonio. It had pretty good food and you could order something really cheap and just eat the chips and unlimited fresh-made tortillas, very useful for students.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Excellent great news, Jen! So pleased for you.

And a new Wolfling! Congratulations.

Coding and Sleeping

This sounds like something out of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe. Quantum mechanics is just cool. Mind hurting, but cool.

With the right set-up, the theory suggested, the computer would sometimes get an answer out of the computer even though the program did not run. And now researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have improved on the original design and built a non-running quantum computer that really works.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Oh! I needed some happy news! Many congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Wolfram!

May we add and add and never subtract. Indeed.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Happy Birthday to Lysana and Baby Wolfram!

Gud, I saw a story about that this morning, but I had to stop reading it because my brain was giving me error messages. There's a fine line between cool and brain-foldingly-weird, and quantum computing is on the wrong side.

And ION Ben & Jerry's list of new flavors for 2006 is out. I really want to try the Black & Tan.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Some people just can't take a joke, for the record.

Not aimed at any here, just a global statement.

Some people are very nice.

Which dose include Buffistas, but is also a global statement.

Wolf cub! Is that the child of a Wolfram?

I think everyone should go on dates. Not necessarily including me, because I just can't imagine it.
