- context-free grammars:
A context free grammar is a set of rules defining a language. This grammar:
s -> np vp
np -> det n
vp -> v
det -> the
n -> man
v -> runs
Defines the language which generates the sentence "the man runs". This is what I do at work. I write a context free grammar (not exactly, but something along the same lines) that defines bibliographic references. Fun. - farscape:
I used to say that Farscape was hands down the best tv show ever made. Now I have to stop and consider Firefly...Nobody should have to make that choice. Let's say that Farscape is one of the best tv shows ever made. Beautiful costumes, Jim Henson puppetry, amazing acting, fabulous characters, sparkling writing, complex personal relationships, and acknowledgement of the fact that people have to go to the bathroom while in space. Perfection. - grant morrison:
Mind blowing comic author that explores complex, sophisticated ideas about personality, identity, culture, history, and the future of humanity while still retaining a unique sense of humor. Best example: The Invisibles - kabuki:
An absolutely gorgeous comic by David Mack. His art style blows me away. That's all I can say. - preacher:
Theological musings meet good old fashioned ass kicking, with a heavy dose of the good side of American idealism...and vampires. What more could you want from a comic book? - sci-fi:
I used to be a hard core fantasy person, but Josh turned me on to sci fi. Now I love it, in book, movie, or tv show form. Some genre favorites: Firefly, Farscape, Star Trek: TNG, Fifth Element, Orson Scott Card, Neal Stephenson, Tad Williams, and many more that I can't come up with right now. - tea:
I love tea. Sadly, I can't get the same caffeine buzz off of it as from coffee, and I need caffeine buzz to function at work, so I don't drink as much tea as I like. Winter's approaching, however, and I like to snuggle up with tea before bed when it's cold outside. That will be nice. Favorite teas: Anything from Numi, any black teas, especially Numi's Smoky Tarry Lapsang Souchong. Smells like a campfire and leather. - the postal service:
Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard's other band. So good! Can't wait for the next album...if there is a next album... - video game soundtracks:
Good coding music. Dramatic instrumentals are the best background for programming, for some reason. My favorites at the moment: Halo I, World of Warcraft. I also enjoy The Legend of Zelda, for nostalgic reasons. - world of warcraft:
Pure online crack. Haven't played in a month. So sad. I'm close to getting a big kitty to ride around on, if I just had a couple of days to grind for gold!
