You're trying to avoid reading some of the most fascinating subject matter on the planet!? Indeed, it does take a lot of work. I recall reading each chapter twice. Onto your question, I am sure other people are asking the same thing. The "$_" is a Linux command line prompt. It falls under the computer brand of geeky. We thought having a blinking square blob was tacky, and went with an underscore version instead. If you'd like to learn more, check out this video "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtIe4nL6BmY" rel="nofollow">Introduction to the Terminal 1"</a>.

Since I should be working on an organic chemistry lab that was due yesterday, I decided to read several posts and subsequently comment on this one. I may be smart but I am certainly NOT motivated. I'd just like to say that I love puppy dogs and the sketch of one from your previous logo is A-dorable. However, I do agree that it has slim to none "geekappeal"... except, I guess, to geeky veterinarians? I like the new logo but I have one question... what is with the $_ ? It looks kind of like a typo, which is ungeeky. That being said, please don't reply pointing out all the typos in my comment here. Is there some significance to the $_ ? Is it, perhaps, for the reader to fill out in their own mind? ie. [crazy.like.that]$5 like a DIY price tag? Or maybe it is some reference that is over my head because clearly your geekdom surpasses my own. Just curious. Cheers. Dear CLT,
