A Reply From ThinkGeek

So I sent ThinkGeek a complaint about the Ada Lovelace shirt (see previous post) and said I was assuming it was an oversight and not that they assume men wouldn't want to wear a shirt honoring the first computer programmer just because she was a woman. (I didn't mention the Marie Curie shirt because I hadn't noticed it, but it seems there is a series of these "Heroine" shirts which are only available in "women's sizing".)

I got this reply.

It wasn't an oversight. We thought it'd be nice to launch something just for the females for a change. However, I keep a list of customer requests for designs on different shirts. I'll add yours to it.

I'm not sure what I think about that reply yet.

A crowded schedule

I'm a little stunned to find I have actual entries taking up too much of my google calendar. It's been a long time since I even had enough going on to bother putting entries in.

Sometimes, TV hosts are five

On a cooking show here in Montreal, the guest is preparing Mirugai Sushi.

Of course, when one name for this long-lived creature is "Penis Clam", you might find the hosts have a lot of trouble keeping a straight face.
