But at least its not a voiced consonant. The name is really just a bunch of vowels and a breath..

>Aoife is my beautiful new daughter This is big news, even for people who’ve never met you. Congratulations! But couldn’t you have got that one last measly consonant out of the name :-)

Twiglets™ is the preferred term I believe.

Who’s Aoife? Aoife is my beautiful new daughter, whose existence—while not a state secret or anything—hasn’t been publicized on CT.

I thought Kevin looked very tall in his picture, so go on, how tall exactly? I’d guess 6’5. I still can’t see Matt Yglesias as tall. Who’s Aoife?

of course I know Malcolm… I even know Lois Weisberg’s children (though I’ve never met Lois herself)—I met Joe in the summer of 1983 (we were on the same Summer program and then ended up living in the same Freshman dorm) and I met Jacob in the fall of 1984 (we were both part of the same tiny experimental major) but the person I really want to meet is Aoife—her height is a bit hard to judge from her blog, but my guess would be something in the range of 24 inches…

Yeah Eszter, but that’s trivial because Tamar href=”http://people.cornell.edu/pages/tsg3/” rel=”nofollow”>http://people.cornell.edu/pages/tsg3/ knows everyone—she’s one of Malcolm Gladwell’s ‘Connectors’. In fact, I think she knows Malcolm, too.

I’ve hung out with a philosopher this week who has now met four Timberites (Timbereens?:), which is way higher than my F2F CT score. If I tell you I’m in Budapest for a meeting maybe you (Kieran and some others) can guess who this is.:)

Matthew Yglesias and Kevin Drum, taller than you’d think? It’s a crazy world. Eugene Volokh is just the right size, in person.

Taller than on his blog? ‘Cause he looks extremely tall there. As my wife would say, “Who is this guy—Gojira?”
