Here come the twits

[trochee]

In brief:

• 13:46 "linguist : polyglot :: doctor : pentathlete", to rephrase @hober (via @kirinqueen) as SAT analogy #
• 13:51 www.flatlandthemovie.com/ looks like mathy fun and has among others Martin Sheen & Kristen Bell as voices. and Tom Banchoff advising! #
• 15:30 recognizing when your own coding plan is risking the Sunk-Cost Fallacy is bittersweet. www.skepdic.com/sunkcost.html #
• 15:51 Come see me talk at the #freebase meetup tonight! meetup.com/sf-freebase/ #

I often use twitter to mention what's happening or linkdump. I LT here for posterity.

sunkcost = heh. so common!

thanks for the link to Flatland! i passed it on to the math teachers in our district.

"freebasing" used to mean something entirely different than what your meetup group represents! ?

regarding freebase -- yes, it still means that to me, too. I think that deciding to call that project 'freebase' was maybe a little too flippant.

erm, not that it was my idea -- or even really my project. I talked there to make friends and brag about my new job.
