She blinded me with science
On her blog today, Steph is wondering « Am I really a computer scientist »? Well, dear, the big computer lab I saw last night in your tiny place at the top of a Montreal tower looked like a scientific experiment to me: two laptops (G4 and Dell Pentium) with cable connection, tons of windows open on each screen, a Web cam which allowed me to say hi to Karl and watch him work with Olivier in Japan (Steph is the only person I know who manages to look good on a Web cam picture), your vast itune library (Neil Finn, excellent choice!), messaging and e-mail applications everywhere, ghosted alternate desktops on the G4, dark and mysterious UNIX based commands which you typed at the speed of light… If it is not science, it might just be witchcraft!
Keep talking to these little girls you meet on your newspaper route. You might inspire a few interesting careers. Who knows, I might have studied computer science if I had met you when I was a kid.
