so how do you know when you've managed the super awesome task of filling up the battery?

I push some buttons on the steering wheel and it'll switch to the screen you're thinking of. What you're really seeing in that picture is additional RCA inputs that I added and the output of a computer that I'm building for the car. It's labeled as DVD player input. I could have said that to begin with, but I like my short version.

I was going to email you. Chomsky is giving a talk at work. I need to see if guests are permitted. Are you interested if they are?

I'll verify the date and see if he can reschedule. I think it was in the afternoon. Around 4pm. I could be completely wrong on the date and time since I'm going by memory.

You realize that if I barely know when the event is, I'm not that involved with planning it. I thought he was dead until I saw the sign saying he was speaking.

I just looked at the official schedule.
The Good News. It's Friday the 25th at 4pm Eastern, 1pm Pacific.
The Bad News. He will be in Cambridge and it will only be video conferenced to my office. I know it's probably not quite the same, but you can still come have lunch and stay for the talk if you want.

Unhappy ending... anonymous April 21 2008, 14:50:05 UTC
I was really engaged with the discussion in the comments, but it turns out that the ending is a bit of a let down.

J: "Are you interested if they are?"
D: "that sounds totally interesting, what day? i'd love to see it"
D: "ah, i can't do that day... "
J: "I'll verify the date and see if he can reschedule."
D: "so, if it were friday, i could...wow!! :D"
J: "The Good News. It's Friday the 25th at 4pm Eastern, 1pm Pacific."
D: "i can't really do friday, though, i have to work dogs all day..."

Bummer.

well, it's true... i went and checked on my schedule, and it's actually more of a mess around 1 pm than i thought it was going to be... some lady wants me to train her gsd. i'd be sorry to disappoint you, except i can't really care about you because i have no idea who you are.

so, that whole thing is really fascinating... i'm very interested in being able to enter addresses while moving... i'll have the bf check into it, he'd probably *love* to take apart the prius...
