Last night, while checking out Reddit near the end of my day, I noticed that my Reddit karma was a rather . . . interesting . . . number.
It’s during times like these that I’m glad I’m so easily amused.

As a fringe benefit for writing the articles everyone visits the site to read, I have a membership at Suicide Girls, where I get to read lots of cool articles. Seriously, the pretty ladies are nice and all, but there’s a whole lot more going on at SG, too. We put some great stories on…
We were introduced last week at the Pasadena Humane Society, when Anne and I were there for a tour of the new facility we helped raise the funds to build.
In my life experience, I’ve come to believe that the thing about enjoying something and appreciating something, is that each involves a sense of gratitude, but when you put both feelings together, you end up with something that is greater than the sum of its individual parts.
“I want to have a date tonight. Do you want to have a date tonight?” Maybe I should have passed her a note that said “check yes or no” but after fifteen years together, I often think of these cute and clever things hours after the fact.
I walked out into the living room and found Nolan sitting at our iMac, playing Diablo.
“Hey, it’s too dark and cold outside to throw the frisbee,” I said, “but at the dining room table, it’s perfect for throwing dice.”
He spun around in his chair. “Two minutes. Then you are going down.“
“Awesome.”
Shortly after I finished writing Happiest Days of Our Lives, I experienced something I’ve never felt since I started acting less and writing more: For the first time in years, I looked at my completed work, and I felt proud of it…. I was supposed to be finishing this script, but I kept going back and reading her archives, because there was so much wisdom and affirmation in there, I felt like I was gaining XP There is a website called WHY WE WRITE.

Hee hee… that took me a second.
East coast, Ordered book the day orders went live (before the blog post).. Arrived yesterday.
Wil, what is with the bizzare math in the first section? You used the speed of light instead of the distance from the sun.. or am I missing something?
(or has this been covered).

I did not use the speed of light in my math, which I double-checked and ran past math majors to be entirely sure I’d done everything correctly.
I was just about to give up and ask. Then it clicked. I blame my lack of nerdness on my wife, who wouldn’t let me finish watching Star Trek last weekend at the hotel.
Anyways, to make up for it, here is a nice Zoidberg joke:

Hee hee.
How… peculiar… one might think… that you somehow… engineered/manipulated your Reddit Karma to result in such an interesting result.
Coincidence? Hmmmm….
Even after my morning Rockstar, I still don’t get it. Anyone care to enlighten me?
Perhaps I’ve lost touch with a small portion of my nerdiness, but I don’t get the joke.
I am shamed.
Think “NCC….”
Dork.
Of course, I got it right away, so I can’t talk. I also busted up when I saw George Takai’s license plate on his limo on Heroes last season.
It took me a second, but I got there eventually.
Amen the best numbers in the world start with:
NCC-1701
You beat me, fairnhite451…
Haha. At least this was unplanned.
Back in 1991, I belonged to a BBS called BaudTown, in Chatsworth I do believe.
I paid them something like ten bucks to have my account number changed to 1701, and then I changed my username to NCC.
i think i’m missing something…
To explain in great detail……
The screen shot that Wil posted has the number 1701. The number on the Enterprise was 1701, or NCC-1701-D.
Hope this helps those of you who had no idea hehe
You know, I really should have known that.
My previous comment stands: I am shamed.
hahaha… that’s awesome (well in a geeky sorta way)..
ncc1701 was my username at work for years – and then the new company that took us over has something — pfft – name convensions…. how much does that suck!? now i’m ALRO — how boring..
*Goes to change his username back to ncc1701*
That’s fantastic. My husband, when we first met, was playing a starship captain whose ship had the registry number of 1805. When we met, my family’s phone number ended with 1805. It was one of the little things that made our geeky hearts go pitter pat.
I finally figured it out while I was in the shower. Can we say ‘DUH’.
Boy, do I feel dumb…….
::hangs head in shame::
alikitty: Were you playing guitar at the time?

It’s a sign that you should be finishing that Datalore review for TVsquad you keep teasing us about 😉
I guess we are too 🙂
We could probably make it so that it just stays that way forever. I’ll check with Steve. 🙂
heh.
Speaking of geeky karma and all…
jedberg said “make it so”.
fairnhite, your geek grep is pretty sharp
Nice.
Immediately after I read “1701”, the first thing that popped into my head was “D”.
I love out-of-the-blue references. 😀
I wonder if an Enterprise will appear in new movie next year. Am I the only fan filled with excitement and dread all at the same time over this new movie?
