I don't know that series, but it wouldn't shock me if this one was a ripoff.
The Philosophy of the Simpsons, BtVS, LotR, Matrix and other pop culture subjects. AFAIK (well, what I've been told from the in-house philosopher) none of the authors of the included essays are significant philosophy personages.
Hey Allyson, remember that optics catalog that had you irate? (It was Edumd Optics, yeah?)
It's just hit the AAS Committee on the Status of Women listserv.
Because I'm bored, I googled that catalog, and got this blog: [link]
Oh thank god. I was told I was nuts for being so mad about it.

They were kind enough to include scans and contact information in the mail. Heh. Oh, and some of EO's industrial/academic affiliates.

I can't believe I'm actually hoping for snow. If only because otherwise, it's ice and that would really really suck.

My brain isn't working properly today, and I'm working on some fairly complex SQL. Or at least trying to. I'm just making mistakes left and right. I should go home, right?

I'm about to drown in saccharine. Mr. Jane just called to tell me he heard a story that reminded him of me- that Ryan Secrest asked John Mayer about Jessica Simpson, and he answered in Japanese, which ended up translating to "Jessica Simpson is beautiful in a way you will never understand."
I'm not usually this much of a sap, but I think I'll make it through the rest of the day with a smile on my face.
