I’m sure someone else has already thought of this, but a couple of visits to jesustortilla and jesusoftheweek and miracletortilla inspired me to make some Jesus-in-a-tortilla inspired lolart:

By the way, SNEWS was absolutely wonderful. It was a great crowd this year, plenty of nice talks and fun dioramas. I finally got to meet Lance in person, received lovely feedback from Itamar and chatted it up with Elizabeth, a former student of Polly’s now working with David Dowty. And I must say, I’m pretty convinced by the arguments I made in my talk. That functional shifting rule really is somethin’.

My SNEWS handout.

(and WAH my Sharvit ref typo that I printed 40 copies of.)

Talk was on Monday, I think it went all right, though I’m not entirely pleased that most people came up to me afterwards to say something along the lines of “I didn’t understand a word you said, but you were really confident and came across really smart”.

Anyway, here’s the handout for Monday’s talk.

I’m finishing up the handout for my SNEWS talk, so if you’re lambda/semantics savvy, wait for those notes.

FYI: I’ll be one of many presenters at SNEWS next week at MIT. The talk will be a modded version of my first year project talk so w00t.

The first year project presentation is just around the corner. I somehow manage to explain generalized quantifiers, relative clauses, domain restrictions AND functional NPs all without lambdas in 15 minutes.

Thrilled about my acknowledgments.

Picked it up yesterday afternoon. The drive is empty empty empty. But at least I have my machine back.

Er. The next two weeks are going to be insane.
