It explains Leonard’s romances so well

Because if you’re going to be evil, just go all the way to chaotic.

I love these alignment charts that are currently going around the Internets at the speed of meme; it isn’t very often that D&D and pop culture references overlap, after all. As you can imagine, I especially love this one:

There are several other charts at Mighty God King, where they’re in the middle of a week of alignment charts.

Leonard is attracted to the women who align along a similar axis as him (good or lawful) but ultimately leaves them because of the conflicting axis (evil or chaotic). Sheldon has a chance if he can pull Amy Farrah Fowler more towards the lawful side. Raj and Howard are hopeless and Wil remains a nemesis not only for Sheldon but perhaps for Leonard also. This is so much fun.

Man, for some reason this brought back memories from playing D & D in college in the 70s using mimeographed copies of the rules, having to special order weird multisided dice and creating adventures every Friday night. I had just never thought about looking at a TV show or other narrative using the same alignment system.

Very well-done. Here is one for Battlestar Galactica. Someone should do one for Leverage, Firefly or Supernatural. I bet a Mark Sheppard character would be in every one.

Using a mobius strip in a test

So my friend’s professor said he could have a single side of a page of notes for a final…

He should get extra credit for that idea! The teacher said one side could be used and a mobius strip only has one side. Pretty smart.

The iPad becoming more of PC for me every day

If the iPad is categorized as equivalent to a traditional laptop, Apple is the largest mobile PC seller in the U.S., and the third-largest worldwide.

When I got my iPad, I knew it was going to replace a lot of my PC work. I could simply use it in places I would not take a laptop.

Like the bathtube. I streamed an entire episode of Sherlock Holmes while taking a path using the PBS app. I’d never do that with any other type of PC (And the new Sherlock Holmes is awesome!!)

But, since the 4.2 iOS update, it has become even more of a PC. I spend today in meetings. During one, I recorded the meeting using SoundNote, and simultaneously downloaded relevant PDFs from the approprite website and saved them in folders using GoodReader.

Because of the new multitasking process in 4.2, I could record the meeting, take notes, download documents and edit them in Pages. Before, it would have stopped recording as soon as I opened another app.

I have not used my laptop in a meeting since I upgraded the iOS to 4.2

I figure one or two more updates and the ipad may become an obvious PC. But right now it is definitely a personal computer to me.
