I stopped timing when their pause was long enough to know that they stopped.

I’m totally the fifth hit on Google for “gibibytes”. Now I might go up even higher. I’m gaining on you, Wikipedia!

MRI Movie

Tomorrow I’m going to have an MRI taken of my head for a speech production experiment. I’ll get a picture of my brain, and will apparently be given time at the end to say whatever I want and have a movie made of it, like the ones on the left side here. USC is one of the few places (the only place?) that are currently able to make such videos; it’s pretty cool.

Anyway, the question is: what should I say in the video?

On the infrequent occasions when I have been called upon in a formal place to play the bongo drums, the introducer never seems to find it necessary to mention that I also do theoretical physics.

I wish I got credit for all the times I resisted acting like an asshole instead of only being remembered for the times I did act like an asshole.

Google Image Labeler

I hadn’t seen this before; pretty interesting. Google is using humans to help tag images and improve image search results. And they’ve turned it into a game where you get points, which is actually kind of addictive.
