Well, I am in geek heaven.

Holy.

Frak.

Bill, thanks! It was great to meet you too, if only briefly. The panel did indeed rock, as did the Mythbusters panel. I love TBBT, and I’m really looking forward to the next season. I was explaining the “spherical cow” joke to the Mythbusters crew, and got a lot of blank stares, but by putting that joke in the episode (where Leonard opens his talk with a joke) you became a hero to thousands of nerd scientists like me.

You, sir, rock.

I can officially confirm that I did indeed work with Ken B.

Phil — great to meet you at Comicon. I look forward to taking a look at your book.

BA:

SHINY was my first idea too, but Svip beat me to it. Ken B. -whatever status you have (respect, man, respect)- computers were “shiny” in the semantics of the days before they even existed. Svip and me -and BA I’m sure- and the whole Firefly crew use *shiny* in 21st century lingo. That’s when everything changes. And you got to be ready!

That should, of course, read “work _with_ Bill”. Oh well.

“Shiny” isn’t really the equivalent of “cool”, and certainly not in the way BA uses it here. Now, perhaps they used some really shiny computers to run the show, but I wouldn’t call a panel discussion “shiny”.

And too bad BA didn’t mention that Bill Prady was going to be there. He could have told him “Ken says ‘hi’”. I used to work will Bill, and his partner, the real-life Howard Wolowitz. (I guess that sort of blows any anonymity I may have had here.)

I just discovered Big Bang, and it’s awesome. It was the episode where the Indian Character is being pestered by his parents to date the girl they chose for him.

I absolutely *love* Eureka! It is so shiny that you were on a panel with Jamie Paglia! I’m jealous that he gets to read your book early, though.

Didn’t they already do an asteroid episode on Eureka? I could be confusing it with the junk attracted by the magnet episode.

A gamma-ray burst? I think we’ll more likely see that as coming from a lab than from space on that show.

Good acting is when you can portray a character completely unlike yourself and sell it to the audience as real. Jim Parsons is an actor in my books.

I think the geek word for “cool” is “shiny”. Evidence? See Firefly/Serenity.

The Schroedinger’s Cat episode was The. Best. Ever.
