The really smart, ahead of his peers technically, nerd type. I identified with him, althought I wasn’t anywhere near that smart at his tender age. So how could I hate what I essentially was?

I used to think lowercase numbers were weird, but now I like them a lot. :) Except I need to come up with a new font for my subject lines, because the numbers *should* be in uppercase in a heading. :)

It took me *forever* to come up with a Star Trek character that bugged me. Unlike most people, Wesley didn’t ever bug me, and I don’t see why he does (bug people, that is). And I like all of the main characters. So that meant I had to search for a guest character, and Shelby was the first one to come to mind, although those awful Admirals could be pretty high on the list. For a while I couldn’t remember her name, though– I had to look it up.

After reading my Typsetting book, I was astonished to find that numbers should be lower case. And did you further know … that these numbers 1890 are correctly typset? I am all astonished!

He might be my number 1!
