ruiz, gomez, hernandez,
Thanks. I just figured it out. Hernandez it is.
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Mathy types: What does is signify when it's a capital?
Steph, thanks for the link to the pi day cards! Mine are sent!
edit: I don't know what the above symbol is. Hope it's not a math flame of some sort.

Garcia.
I was actually thinking about spanish surnames the other day and how the ones I think of as common, aren't so much when the scale is larger.

Omega?
If it's capital omega, it's used for electronics. (That's all I know.)
Ω ω? Omegas.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Usually I just take notes into a word doc and put the citation right there, but I'm thinking about a non-computer solution that would let me take my pile of books and papers on to my bed or someplace else, and end up with a much smaller stack of cards I could then carry around. We'll see if this ever actually happens. More likely: I write the draft at the last minute with the pile next to me and frantically sort through everything looking for that relevant bit.

And, of course, for the perfect Pi Day experience, everyone should try to eat pie at exactly one minute to 2:00pm this afternoon.

Mostly lurking...
Jesse, we use RefWorks on campus and at work, and it is really wonderful. I love it. Definately see if your school has something like that available through the library.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Has anyone here used brainstorming software?

I'd forgotten about it until just now, but my dad actually helped design one of the earliest GUI brainstorming programs. He and a friend of his wrote a program for the earliest Macs called "The Learning Tool," which was an early precursor to those brainstorming type of programs.

Pi Day!
My friend Gary wrote a great song titled "Sweet as Pi." It's all about his favorite scientific numbers (he was a physics major).
Let's see how much I can remember off the top of my head.
I saw a number
written on a wall
It's not the kind of number
that you call
It seemed to me it was
sweeter than pi
In fact it was 3.14159
Then there's a whole thing about: "Now Newtons are Jules over meters / I like Hertz and Watts and radions more than liters"
My favorite section went: "Now Pascal / you rascal / you're as green as a lawn's tent / 'cuz you're not nearly as cool as / Maxwell Planck and his constant."
There's something about Avogadro and Moh's too.
