There's a second reason for SyFy - that's how it's most-commonly-twittered.

I kid you not, and I do not make it up. However, I can no longer find the web-release from the-old-SciFi to back this up, so you can assume I'm lying.

(I'm totally not, though. I'm too lazy to continue researching it; I have better things to do, like sleep.)

She said the great thing about the ADD mind is that it sees all the possibilities - the challenge is to figure out how to narrow all those possibilities down to a more manageable number.

I like that. It's not just a bug, it's also a feature.

I took a ton of pictures today and plan to go through them when I get a chance and hopefully upload some sets on Facebook. Dear doG it is just insanely beautiful here.

I remember the same article. I think the reason given was it was the way most commonly searched for on the internet rather than specifically Twitter, but either way it seems like a network caving to illiteracy.

I love it when the media caves to the lowest common denominator. We as a society are DOOMED! We need that Isle pronto. Must be isolated from the mainlands. Independent sources of energy and food. And a well stocked library!

We need that Isle pronto.

I am not watching Torchwood, because my g/f isn't home (she travels *way* too much) until Saturday, and we're going to watch the whole lot together.

This is taking a significant amount of willpower...

Dissertation supervisor is happy with the work I've been doing. Ergo, I am going to eat and watch TV for a bit. Which still feels like slacking off, all the same.

Does anyone know why SciFi channel changed to SyFy?

Because girls are scared of the letter i. We feel much more comfortable watching a channel with a soft curvy logo. We are also scared of spaceships and loud noises, which will also be banned from the network henceforth.

(Bitter? Me?)

(Also, only half-kidding about the above reasoning. The only thing that kept me from walking up to David Howe and punching him in the crotch at upfronts was the open bar.)

In their press release they quoted a "typical male viewer" as saying "If I was texting, that's how I would spell it!" I call bullshit and will EAT my iPhone if it turns out that this ridiculous statement was made by anyone other than a marketing hack.

Sy Fy can be trademarked or copyrighted or whatever's applicable, and Sci Fi cannot. It's brand control.

Coming soon - The Fud Network! The Travelle Channel! ARGH.

(See above, re: not bitter.)

To annoy a large part of their audience?

Now, see, in my case, the open bar would INCREASE the likeliness of violence against stupidity, but that's just how I roll.
