Entry:
Been Building a Robot Army I realise that I haven't been doing a good job of keeping this up-to-date. Problem is that at the same time I was getting all of this set up I was also getting buried in work. My current project is writing some software for the soon-to-be-released [1]I, Robot. And then, if that wasn't enough to keep me busy, I'm off to Japan on vacation tomorrow. I may try to do some updates from the road, but that may just not be doable. In the meantime, things I've been thinking about writing about: 1) This Iraq torture thing. It's definitely not representative of the 135,000 American troops on the ground in Iraq. It is representative of the additional 100,000 plus troops we should have on the ground but don't. Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and company should take the blame for this, because what happened is a direct result of their pathetically bad post-invasion planning. 2) The absurdity of those congressional hearings where people like Condi Rice avoid answering questions by rambling until certain people's time runs out. What's with that. Let's require that these people sit in the room until they've really answered all of the questions, or gone on the record as being unwilling to answer them. 3) Anyone else notice that our dramatic increases in jobs created is still below our monthly new filings for unemployment? Saw the play [2]Urinetown last night. Brilliant. Highly recommend it. Very quirky. Very funny. Don't be the bunny. References: 1. http://www.irobotmovie.com/ 2. http://www.urinetown.com
