Lectures

I'm going to listen to Cory Doctorow  in a few minutes. There were spare places and I grabbed one.

I told my boss that I'd like to go earlier than normal to get there and she said "Who?" My explanation may have made me seem more of a geek than before

I told my daughter I'd be late back and she said "Who?" She did at least respond to Boing Boing - Is that, as I think, Boh-ing boh-ing, or is it Boing boing as sproing sproing, as now seems more likely?

I thought it was like sproing-sproing, as to reflect their ebullient, childlike wonder? But I'm a recent convert, so I have no idea.

Did you tell your daughter and coworker that Cory Doctorow wears a cape and lives in a balloon? Because that's how I conceptualise him, thanks to xkcd...

(By the way, I know who he is and am envious, and I hope you're having a good one!)

woo! \o/ Cory is awesome! I saw him at the booksigning for Little Brother in Toronto, and it was way cool. His ability to think on his feet is just amazing.

Around the office, I get to say: "Cory Doctorow, you know, the guy we bought OpenCOLA from." ^_~
