OK. Sometimes the marketers get it right. This is just plain funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eN9KP6lOZs
So Thanksgiving was pretty good this year. We went over Judy's parents' place and hung out with their family. They had a mini family reunion, so it was fun to be aound a lot of people for the Day of Giving Thanks. As I was observing the different families there, and how they interacted, and who was from what branch of the family, I came to a funny realization. Soon enough, the family re-unions will just be my family and their immediate relations. That is, our parents, our brothers and sisters and our kids. As my parent's generation passes, I'll be the middle generation for the family gatherings. Weird to think that eventually I won't be the kid anymore. Eating good food with a group of peple…
"I'm sorry Dave, I can't allow you to do that". That chilling statement made by the machine HAL in 2001 A Space Odyssey is just one of the many examples of how humans have been fascinated by the idea of artificial intelligence. I myself am very interested in the subject and hope to go back to graduate school for a degree in the field. In the meantime I'm writing small applications like these to demonstrate what AI can do.This is an ASP.NET application that will play a perfect game of Tic-Tac-Toe using the AI algorithm called minimax. First a little about the game Tic-tac-toe. It is a deterministic game, meaning that all actions have a direct and knowable consequence to the game state.…
Check out this story: 5 yo boy dressed as Spiderman saves baby from blazeA short excerpt: "A five-year-old boy dressed in a Spider-Man suit became a real superhero in Brazil when he saved a baby girl from her burning home.

Now this is just stinkin awesome! One of the best Batman video shorts I have ever seen!!!
My wife and I are avid fans of dancing with the stars. It's the only reality TV show we watch. The reason being that we like dancing and like watching other people dance - it's also fun to see some famous people we like give it a go at dancing themselves. It's the whole over-coming anxiety and learning to do something under pressure thing. It's silly sometimes and the judges aren't consistent a lot of the time. But overall it's a good show and we generally have fun watching it. Cut to this season. From the get-go its obvious that its a lot more competitive this season. They picked out more people who are on the same skill level. This is opposed to last season where it was painfully obvious who…

Not only is there a big-ol' menacing Batman standing there ready to kick you in the face,…
I saw this on The Best of YouTube podcast today. A "Flex" ladder. What an idiotic concept. Besides folding up for storage, having a ladder bend in the middle is like thumbing your nose at the devil, or daring the high school bully to punch you in the face. You're practically begging for trouble. Notice how after the sales guy find out what I'm talking about he still tries his darndest to sell the thing.
