  1. Oops! All those tweets were drafted last night. Just didn't have wifi then.
  2. "Throughout the next century, we religion scholars will continue to be employed, even if 'religion' as we know it no longer exists." #AAR
  3. At the AAR plenary. Mark Juergensmayer is speaking on "Beyond Words and War: the Global Future of Religion." #AAR
  4. Juergensmayer argues that "religious" vs. "secular" is a false distinction; it's all shared worldview constructs. God is incidental. #AAR
  5. "There is no word in any of India's 16 languages for what we call 'religion.'" #AAR
  6. A good day so far. Montréal is a friendly city, even with all the French speaking. Now going back to the hotel to drink Scotch and program.
  7. Working my org's annual meeting. It's actually fun—strums my extrovert wires. I'll be crashing for days afterward, of course.
  8. Glad I walk the concourses in the Atlanta airport instead of doing the train. They have lovely space pictures up now.
  9. "…All progress depends on the unreasonable man." —George Bernard Shaw
  10. QOTD: "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man adapts the world to himself. [cont.]
  11. Traveling to Montréal tomorrow for day job. Anyone want to join me for a weekend drink or such? sfeley@gmail.com or @-reply.
  12. Drive time listening: Bill Bryson's “A Short History of Nearly Everything.” Superb. Pushes all my science geek buttons at once.
  13. Escape Artists has the start of a front page! http://escapeartists.net -- thanks to Jonathan Chaffin for pix and Graeme Dunlop for web.
  14. Today's XKCD blows my mind. It all looks accurate to me, especially Primer: http://bit.ly/38vP5H
  15. "Humanity: Epic Fail" - a talk by Jon Skeet about why the human race makes developers' lives difficult: http://bit.ly/2UVmr0
  16. My most sarcastic comment yet on StackOverflow: http://bit.ly/1Q8euP (Directly beneath the question; the one that starts "Dear Santa.")
  17. Today's mistake: Kung pao shrimp as sole meal, then hour with personal trainer. My body does get opinionated.
  18. @dontera What a funny coincidence! Mine too! Only not always soothing.
  19. Just wrote my first iPhone app! It says "Hello Anna." (Seeking competitive edge with a more targeted market than "Hello World.")
  20. @cunningminx What an amazing mental image that evokes.
