I really liked that Genuine picked up on the reference to the book Owen. I still have my tattered copy somewhere. I loved that book!

Check out the easter egg in krebscout's answer! Look for the scripture in John.

I don't get it.

Hover over the first "Peace"

Whaaaat, hovertext? We're getting all high-tech up in here! I didn't even know that was an option!

Me too. When this question came out, I thought Anne was referring to the links in answers.

so- what are everyone's favorite hovertext answers?

Wait what, I have an easter egg in one of my answers? I haven't even answered as krebscout.

Most people don't know that D.A.R.E. has hovertext for most, if not all, of his answers if you mouse over his signature.

So...I was just looking through some of D.A.R.E.'s hovertext...and I came across this one: http://theboard.byu.edu/questions/71754/

...are D.A.R.E. and Optimistic. the same person?

ETA: I got an answer =P Thanks, yay.

Quinn's abs were great!

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. It's definitely up there for answers I've spent the most time on...but it was a lot of fun, too. (Visualization is a fascinating field to me, although not one I could see myself pursuing a career in.)

Please tell me you've read Edward Tufte.

I've perused one of this books, but I haven't really read/studied him. (I know, I should hang my head in shame. ) The thing is, I haven't really gotten around to studying visualization yet; it's just on my list of topics I'd like to learn more about. (And this question gave me a nice chance to dive in briefly. )

No worries. You'll like him when you get to him, is all.

Nice!

Both BQ #71861 and BQ #71848 have some perspectives that I feel are very useful to the Board, especially regarding faith, and the changes that can occur.

somehow knowing that Petra is also a grad school dropout really comforts me

also I liked this quote "His plan is like a well-written RPG--as long as I make the best choices I can, things will turn out OK."
