Seriously, why are there so many flowcharts in my reading? LIS people are apparently in love with drawing diagrams of their theoretical models and I DON'T GET IT!

I'm sure this must be some sort of learning style mis-match thing, but it makes me feel very stupid. I just see boxes and arrows that I can't decipher. What's wrong with just writing about what's going on instead of just drawing a bunch of arrows?

ETA: Also, there are too many acronyms and abbreviations to keep straight. Then even the words don't have meaning. Argh.

ETA2: I forgot about xkcd's Guide to Understanding Flow Charts. I wish the ones in my articles were this simple! Yeah, back to work or whatever.

When is Caprica showing on Skiffy anyway? Aren't they releasing it on DVD first or something?

Of course, if they have laptops with no corners, they better not be networked! Or else the Cylons will frak things up!!

Well according to Amazon the DVD will be released on April 21st. I have no idea when they're actually going to air it on television. I would think maybe fall at the earliest?

Hopefully my motto ::points to icon:: applies to family/courtroom drama (or whatever the hell Caprica is supposed to be about).

Is Caprica technically set in space? I mean, it's set a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... but does that tenet still apply if they stick planetside?

Well, no, I suppose it technically isn't in space. But I'm holding out hope that there will at least be some stuff in space.

Ahahaha. (I'm laughing at your icon.)

We shall see, I suppose.

On a completely unrelated note, I got my friend Sarah hooked on "Skeleton Key." More Margot converts!
