Anyway, I like it, and am going to try to start weaseling it into as many talks as I possibly can. Speaking of which, here are slides for a guest lecture I gave to the local alternative models of computing class at UW.

Profile
Dave Bacon is a theoretical ski bum who is also a pseudo professor. His research is on quantum computing, his scientific passions extend to everything in physics, mathematics, computer science and beyond, and his personal pleasures include making wine, playing poker, skiing, camping, and daydreaming (although not all of those at the same time.)
Nothing he says on this blog should be construed as having anything to do with his employer or his dog.

Good one!
With a little modification, we have "crudumentary" - a documentary that is crud.
Expelled, perhaps?

I can imagine T. Bruce McNeely's suggestion leading to this one-line review:
"The crudumentary 'Expelled' is craptacular!"
