YES!

(Apologies for not being multisyllabic in my appreciation, its been a long day)

[hirez]

Ta very much.

*grin* Top stuff.

And now I'm suddenly wondering if Gerard Way's recent *shock horror* marriage was actually a ploy to raise angst/productivity... It all begins to make sense!

[hirez]

You see? And Strikeout/Fandomgate. It's all connected.

Which can only mean that Eliza Cutz is in fact an eminent computational philosopher and may well get the Nobel Prize next round. That's marvellous. What's even better is that when she's announced as a Nobel Prize winner, that in itself will raise levels of teenaged angst; it's simply genius.

Have I mentioned to you that I have long wanted a t-shirt emblazoned with the legend "I'd rather be having teenaged angst"?

I'd envisaged computational philosophy as an earnest and geeky calling, but of course now you mention it there are going to be highly trained agents provocateur undertaking such missions. And at that point it all goes a bit steampunk.

You hadn't.

I want one that reads 'hack the patriarchy' in a dot-matrix font.

*wild applause*

Is it saleable?

[hirez]

Ta.

Probably not. It mentions current tech, so it's got a half-life of about three months.

[reddragdiva]

Cool! All you need is an editor who loves their gadgets but gets technofear from a pair of scissors.

A mention on bOing^2 should do it. It's full of the right buzzwords.

I work right across the street from a college, so I could totally use one of those phones :)

[eljaydaly]

Oh, my god. That's fabulous! *_* Funny!

[hirez]

Thanks. I just have to get these ideas out of my head to make space for real work.

I wonder if it can be bashed into a shape that Escape Pod might like?

[eljaydaly]

How about Andromeda Spaceways?

They're still sitting on the Diner-thing, which I've been quiet about so as not to queer the pitch.
