beth binkovitz in wetzlar, germany circa 2005

Beth (Lauren) Binkovitz is(t):

shocked that there are only two Google search results for "I have a crush on Randall Munroe" (with quotation marks).

I should have tried that search before I got married.

My list of famous people it never occurred to me to try to date until I realized it was too late now consists of:

  • Neil Gaiman
  • Amanda Palmer
  • Randall Munroe
  • Cory Doctorow

Appreciating the irony:

"Dmitry Sklyarov is a Russian programmer who gave a talk at a hacker con in Vegas on the failings in Adobe's e-book locks. The FBI threw him in the slam for 30 days. He copped a plea, went home to Russia, and the Russian equivalent of the State Department issued a blanket warning to its researchers to stay away from American conferences, since we'd apparently turned into the kind of country where certain equations are illegal."

"American success in Afghanistan should be measured by “the number of Afghans shielded from violence,” not the number of enemy fighters killed, he said." [New York Times]
