Yeah, can we post about how wrong Roderick was about Computer Maths instead?

I'm a software engineer and listen while at work...I couldn't stop laughing at that part. I love John and his bullshit, the recent feminism mini-rant included.

I did think it was interesting that he pointed out the social power women have that is easy to overlook, but he missed a lot of the overall picture. Then again, the show is mostly about playing with ideas that are interesting instead of getting things completely right.

In that sense, in some ways he's right about "computer maths" in that most of the things I actually do at work, as opposed to what I learned in college, could be taught as a trade.

I thought the same thing...though it is a period pretty much completely disconnected from the rest of his life. Like he said, when it was over it was pretty much like it didn't happen.

I got to hang out with John one on one last night for about a half hour when he came through KC. Made my year.

Uhh either Merlin forgot to bleep John's daughter's name or John decided he didn't care.
