Buffy ,'Lessons'
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.
The Roomba was inspired by Hal. The inventor was having champagne and cake in honor of Hal's birthday, and they were disappointed that there wasn't a Hal. So the Roomba was a byproduct of getting to Hal.
He works with neuroscientists an AI, now.
Which is really a lame nutshell of the whole talk, which was AWESOME!
Open the dustbin door, Hal.
I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that.
There's a Jared jewelery ad where a female-voiced GPS system gets Hal-like and demands to see the jewelry the driver bought, and the ad ends with the necklace draped over the GPS unit. The driver's name is Dave.
Hey, Allyson, did you ever get my email?
Is this funny? Or disturbing, in that other world leaders can be childish too?
World leaders refuse to shake Bush’s hand during G20 photo-op.
CNN’s Rick Sanchez highlighted yesterday that during last weekend’s G20 Economic Summit, leaders from around the world refused to acknowledge or shake hands with President Bush as they walked on stage for a photo-op. As Sanchez explained, everyone was “greeting each other and shaking hands, but Bush walks with his head down like the dejected most unpopular kid in high school.”

Awww. Buck up buckaroo, only two more months and you can spend all your time clearing brush in Crawford where everybody likes you.
Doubtful Gudanov, the Crawford ranch was just a prop to prove Bush's folksy and down to earth nature. I understand it is already on the market, or at least feelers are out, and will be sold after inauguration.

That's it, I am now disillusioned about Bush.
I wonder where he will go, then, if not Crawford. (From what I've seen, he's been made to feel distinctly unwelcome the last bunch of times he was in Kennebunkport, both from the locals and from his family.) (And from my dad and me -- we were out on the Kennebunk River in a kayak, which we're really not that good at controlling, and accidentally ran into a Secret Service boat. They apparently decided we were harmless and just told us to try not to do that again. This was maybe two summers ago, when W was up there for a family wedding.)
The Bush's are moving to Dallas, aren't they? Where Laura can hobnob and be on a bunch of boards. And George can concentrate on writting his book.
OK, that last part isn't true but still...
We've been watching Wall-E non stop since we got it Tuesday and I love the homage to HAL.
