The real Hiro

I'm really just posting This Article about Masi Oka (Heroes' Hiro Nakamura) for Leslie's sake. Though I have to admit I think it's pretty cool that he's a programmer.

News Update

I heard about this or a similar study. It basically says that girls don't perform as well when they're told that boys are better. I wonder if there might be a corollary of boys performing worse when told girls are better, or if a fluke of our society makes one sex more or less resistant to such self-defeating thoughts.

Tongue piercing can have bad health consequences. Who would have guessed?

Says the study: Boy monkeys prefer trucks; girl monkeys prefer dolls.

News from the web; Gordon Freeman as anchor.

I find This idea rather intriguing. And testament to the power and flexibility that AI has already. But maybe I'm just an AI fanboy.

A little bit about me.

Not because I'm filling out a profile for a dating site (*shifty glance*), but what is it you noticed first about me when you met me? 'Only' meeting me online counts, and if you've met me both online and in realspace you're free to list two things.

Same caveats, what's something you didn't notice about me right away but is notable to who I am?

Having never met myself, I find these questions difficult to answer.
Not that I'm answering these questions, of course.
'Cause I'm not.
