|gil-ēz| or |gil-is|?

the ‘a’, ‘n’, and ‘h’ in anthony are all silent. (so is the ‘7’, but that is also invisible.) and anthony is usually spelled thony. the ‘e’ in gillies is also silent — someone once told me it’s a scottish thing — but that never affects the spelling.

rutgers thingy

Wed 10.10.2007 Filed in: gigs

I was off to Rutgers for the semantics workshop this past weekend. Brian drew the short straw and had to offer comments on, and hence had to slog through, this paper. The comments didn’t disappoint (true, that) and the workshop was lots of fun (double true).

If you’d rather see the advertisement for the paper rather than the paper itself, you can check out the beamer slides for the talk. (I left the pauses in so you can recreate the whole experience…really.)
