Relationship
July 8, 2008

Thesis: One of the fundamental properties of the universe is relationship.

In both the physical and spiritual world, the idea of relationship looms large. It is at the very fabric of the universe.

Without relationship, numbers couldn't exist, space and time couldn't exist -- pretty much nothing except for perhaps a singularity, and even that doesn't make much sense.


Artificial Intelligence
July 8, 2008

During the last year and a half, I've spent a bit of time thinking about the Turing Test and AI in general.

Over the last month, I've had some more time to expand on and refine those ideas, and the process has been very rewarding. My brain is bursting at the seams with ideas! I'd like to start writing these ideas down as blog posts so that I don't forget them.

At this point, I'm torn between the possibility of doing a masters that focuses on AI versus one that focuses on inventing a new programming language.

DARPA Urban Challenge Vehicle, Just for Me? June 11, 2008 http://gizmodo.com/5015346/fords-self+driving-hybrid-darpa-car-now-available-for-89000 What a fantastic turn of events: The third place team in the DARPA Urban Challenge is offering to sell their vehicle for $89,000 so that other researchers can have a crack at it. Suweet! If I had a million bucks and a lot of free time, I'd pick this puppy up in a heart beat!
