rise of the machines
Spend enough time on the Internet, and eventually you’ll find some very cool things. Cool thing number one? Guess the sitcom character. Here’s how you play. Run through your pathetically pop-culture saturated brain and pick a TV character, like maybe Sophia Petrillo, or my former idol, Darkwing Duck. Then sit there and answer the continuing sequence of yes/no questions as if you are that character. There’s a frighteningly high chance that at the end of the questions, the computer will guess your identity correctly. Scary. What’s worse, if you stump the machine (and it verifies that you weren’t just answering questions wrong), it’ll ask you to help make it smarter by adding your own question to the database. Fight the power!
Cool thing number two: Froogle. From the people who brought you the unstoppable, incomprable Google, comes Froogle. This child of Google works just like its famous father, only its sole purpose is to seek out things to buy. It works beautifully and you’d be shocked at how happy this will make you
Ah well. I’m off to dinner and then Lord of the Rings.
