Hippo, birdie, two ewes...

...to sdorn!!!! Have a great one!!

Done yesterday (20120616 Sa)

No walk. Hot. Not much else, either -- read SF short stories online, and watched bits of the ACM A.M. Turing Centenary Celebration webcast. It's archived, so I don't feel bad about missing most of it. When I'm physically attending a conference I can stay focussed; there appear to be too many distractions at home.

Quotes of the day:

Vint Cerf: It's like raising teenagers. You don't know how to do it; you just live through it and one day they turn into people.

Paul Saffo: In 100 years we still won't have a computer that can pass the Turing test, but we will have proved that most members of Congress fail it.

Two boxes of books packed from the office, and three boxes of recycling accumulated. The third is still in the office because the recycling bin is, as usual, full.

Linkie: Linus Torvalds Wins Joint Millennium Technology Prize.

Signal boost: health care

A friend of mine, pocketnaomi, is CALLING FOR HELP because of problems with her health care provider, Grouphealth. Specifically, they have taken the only drug that works on her fibromyalgia out of their formulary. That means that, as of July 1, she'll be paying $600/month for it.

Anyone with ideas about what to do should go comment on her post either here on DW or over on LJ.

Thanks.
