Society for Text and Discourse's annual meeting. I'm looking forward to meeting
Herbert Clark and
Danielle McNamera, along with seeing talks by Jean Fox Tree, Rick Dale, Dale Barr, Adrian Bangerter, Art Graesser, and Michael Schober... among others. I might not be posting for a couple of days. I leave you with these random technologies and crafts.

There's a whiskered
robot rat at the University of Bristol. Also see my
previous post about the University of Bristol's robot Jules.
