Things that I have determined:

*They found a self-replicating design for Conway's Game of Life, something that they weren't expecting to achieve for another decade or so.

*Seanan McGuire's Red Roses and Dead Things is one *hell* of a good album. (Yes, my music is rapidly approaching a type, shuddup)

*Girls wearing labcoats and little else are pretty hot, just on principle.

*I might be boy-crazy

*Being hyper-flirty-silly is an awesome mood, especially when I can actually get things done through it.

And now I go sleep, so tomorrow I can accomplish things for mom and drive to Origins. BYE GUYS, BE GOOD WHILE I'M GONE!

Oh, and one other important note: There are self-replicators in other cellular automata systems slightly more complicated than Life already. But this shows that one can do so in a very simple, Turing-complete system which wasn't really done in a substantially non-trivial fashion before. Most of the other such systems are ones where, as I understand it, the rules were specifically designed to make self-replicating structures easy, which is very much not the case in Life.
