Elf Sternberg pointed at this recently: it's an interesting read. Given superhuman machine intelligence, what are we needed for? - Garrett Fitzgerald from Bookmarklet

Ah, then you're obviously a self-hating self-hater. *gd&rvvvf* - Garrett Fitzgerald

Pretty sweet package that sits on top of Lilypond to help generate orchestral scores. - Garrett Fitzgerald from Bookmarklet

Help me raise money for the Salvation Army to help those in need. I didn't go out bellringing at the mall this year -- this will reduce the guilt a bit. :-) - Garrett Fitzgerald from Bookmarklet

"Python would be Humanism: It's simple, unrestrictive, and all you need to follow it is common sense. Many of the followers claim to feel relieved from all the burden imposed by other languages, and that they have rediscovered the joy of programming...." - Garrett Fitzgerald from Bookmarklet

"You're not adding nearly as much pollution with electric cars. When you generate power to move your car in the engine, it's not as efficient as taking one 10000th (or whatever) of the power that the utility company is generating." - Garrett Fitzgerald

"My family is active in Rainbow, a fraternal service organization for teenaged girls, which is associated with Freemasonry. It teaches leadership as well, but as time goes on, there are fewer and fewer members to lead. Service organizations just aren't as fashionable as they were in our parents' time. :-(" - Garrett Fitzgerald

"When I recently had to perform some mandatory volunteer service, I tried to convince them that volunteering at the library to do PG proofreading was a valid alternative to working at the the local Salvation Army. Unfortunately, they weren't flexible enough to accept that as an option. At least at that SA, I got to install Linux on some donated computers. :-)" - Garrett Fitzgerald

"I'm a member of the Masons and Eastern Star: there are various charities that we give to. On a more personal level, rather than donate money, I donate my time and knowledge to open projects like Project Gutenberg Distributed Proofreaders, which puts public domain books online for free, Librivox, which creates public domain audiobooks from public domain books, and Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia. At WP I create articles, help maintain existing articles, and volunteer as an administrator to maintain the integrity of the project." - Garrett Fitzgerald

The text of the only Lord Peter Wimsey story in the public domain in the US. After this, try _Murder_Must_Advertise_, _The_Nine_Tailors_, and the 4 Harriet Vane novels, especially _Gaudy_Night_. - Garrett Fitzgerald from Bookmarklet

Magic Stones is a pretty cool game. I just played through the 90 minute free trial, and am thinking of actually buying it one of these paydays. You're playing a Druid belonging to one of several schools of magic, and you battle monsters to improve your skills and to find artifacts. After you've levelled up enough, you can challenge the other druids in a tournament. - Garrett Fitzgerald from Bookmarklet

Addendum.....5 winners will be chosen. :-) - Seagate
