    Kevin’s Super Short Review 

    ASC Talent Show – Awesome. I actually purchased a CD at the end. The last time I purchased music was over 4 years ago. 9/10

    KSA Kimbap Social – Pretty good. A showcase of culinary and ice-skating skill. 7/10

    CSA semi-formal – Quite boring… a room full of people, dressed up with nowhere to go. 3/10

    Men’s/Women’s Interest (updated) 

    I was at the airport the other day, and something about popular media caught my eye.

    The Men’s interest section at this airport convenience store can be summed up as follows: 10 magazines that feature men on the cover, 10 magazines that feature women.

    The Women’s interest section has a much simpler breakdown.

    UPDATE!

    Hypothesis: The default, or innate, attraction mechanism for humans is to be attracted to females.

    Does anyone want to test this hypothesis for me?

    UPDATE 2:

    Thank you Dr. Baily!

    Protein Folding 

    I have this delusion I’m trying to dispel that I’ve figured out an O(n) — in the number of nucleotides — algorithm for protein folding. I’m at the UW genomics department right now looking for protein people to talk to.

    Python 

    I started using Python to write a development support server for Infomush. My initial impression is that it’s more verbose than Ruby, but much easier to read. Bonus: It seems to have much more thorough documentation.

    Google, AI, Infomush 

    I just saw a CNet video where Larry spoke about AI as simple algorithms on a massive computational base.

    “We have some people at Google who are working on artificial intelligence.”

    There’s no way any of my team leaked. Google probably figured out the secret to making a great AI themselves, which makes me want to just relocate Infomush to Google and ask “Is this what you’re looking for?”

    So, I guess we’re both at the same philosophical milestone now. If you have real AI, what do you do with it?

    All of this makes me wonder if I’m part of a Stand Alone Complex.

    I could have this all wrong. Perhaps they’re just emulating the brain?
