"The Sarah Connor Chronicles" Secrets: Skynet Written in Visual Basic

"The Sarah Connor Chronicles" is far better than it deserves to be. Brilliantly, they used time travel to delete the events of T3. Sweet! The first 9-episode season just ended, so try to catch up.

In episode 8, it's revealed that the Los Angeles traffic system will become the "nervous system" of Skynet. As a programmer, I'm always interested in seeing the source, and there it is, in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Skynet is written in Visual Basic! I always knew it was an evil language.

Video Friday 11: "Los Angeles", Frank Black

Yes, it's the triumphant return of Video Friday!

Today, Friday the 13th, is my last day at Teradyne. When I accepted the job nine and a half years ago, I remember listing to this song again and again, wondering in trepidation if I could transplant my midwestern ways to Los Angeles. I think it worked out.

Also, I wish I had a personal hovercraft.
