Congratulations, danah! Today, PhD. Tomorrow, Microsoft. In the future, THE ENTIRE PLANET!!

Congratulations dana! I really hope to be tweeting/blogging the same thing sometime over the next 16 or so months. Do you have to have a viva? Or did I miss you blogging about that? Or is that not how it works across the proverbial pond? That was less than coherent, wasn't it, sorry,

Hey danah,

Just to get you caught up on things you might have missed in the past year: the Red Sox won a second World Series, they replaced the cast on "House" with cheaper actors and there's a Democrat in the White House again.
