Hey--flashback question. Masters of Science Fiction on ABC--there was an ep with Anne Heche where she bought a mine-detecting A-almost-I and goes to court to prevent it being destroyed. My recording cut off during the court proceedings where they realise that her AI basically shoved another one under the bus so he wouldn't blow up.

What happened next?

Okay, what happened next:

the bot was "acquitted" and she went to live with the bot (who I recall kept going downhill) and then she became some kind of weird spiritual guru and moved on to another cause.

That's kinda of ... unsatisfying. I had wondered if the bot would be found to be sentient, and then condemned for botslaughter, or something.

I think my eyes must be tired. I keep misreading things, and this:

mine-detecting

I read as mime-detecting.

!

I guess that could be useful.

I can't read the word mimes or hear the word mimes or see mimes (which I doesn't happen very often at all) without thinking about the movie Shakes, the Clown which I did not particularly like, but there was a funny bit with clowns chasing the hated mimes.

Um. t /random Sorry.

I have to go dig up my Flood CD and load it onto my new(ish) computer so I can upload it for Vonnie. She needs Flood! For some reason, all I have on the computer right now is Particle Man. Which I like, but... where's the rest of the album? Weird.

Flood CD

Man, I love that CD.

MINIMUM WAGE!

Ha! I don't catch Southpark very often anymore, but it just came on, and it opened with a black screen and Cartman saying, "Previously, on Battlestar Galactica..." Hee.

MINIMUM WAGE!

Hee. That's my DH's ring tone.

Jon just played Birdhouse In Your Soul on the radio.

Awsome!

I miss being able to listen to the radio at work. Probably the only perk of my last job here (though with the new offices, I probably wouldn't have the space I had).
