I loved this!

Not only is it a neat, simple model to play around with, but the tone of the article made me smile.

I need more friends like this author!

Thank you for taking the (excessive) amount of time to write this and overcoming the urge to polish out all the "imperfections".

Her discussions on Twitter and the sorts of people who hang out and talk there are sort of a simulation of this friend set. :)

I know, right? I had the same reaction to the article, makes me miss fun intellectual conversations in college.
