“Hmmm. Morlocks ran the world in “The Time Machine”.”

Perhaps, but the world they dominated was created by nerds, who were later devoured by the Morlocks. The Morlocks could never have created their underground havens nor learned how to mimic air raid sirens from the 1940s. Only nerds could be that uncool.

Easily one of my least favorite professors as an undergrad at the U of M, I wish he didn’t get all the publicity that he does.

I go by either and either Jim or James works for me. Thanks for asking.

@LinuxRules: I think Jim is a short alternative to James. Nevertheless, we should not presume, but ask James/Jim what he prefers.

I think his first name is James, not Jim.

….has anyone else been keeping up with Non Sequitur this week?

Geeks and nerds taking over the world, indeed…

I daily have a set of comics I read, including NS and Brewster Rockitt, along with such classics as Calvin and Hobbs. All through GoComics, plus a favorite that’s not on any compilation site, Kevin And Kell (funny animals meet computers).

I'm unable to view the video at work, so I have no idea how on-topic this will be, but has anyone else been keeping up with Non Sequitur this week? Geeks and nerds taking over the world, indeed...
