Day 24 -- "What is it, like, checkers?"

The title of today's post is a quote from S1E2 of Lost.  Walt sees John Locke playing with a backgammon set and yells from a noticeable distance without having been in conversation with John, "What is it, like, checkers?!"  Always makes me laugh.

This may have been the video that I discovered Ray Kurzweil.  He gives a brief introduction to the technological age which we are experiencing with graphs and charts galore before he announces Singularity University.  Ray Kurzweil: A university for the coming singularity.

Last year, I bought some neodymium magnets off Amazon and attempted to build a perpetual motion machine.  Turns out, it's as physically impossible as the physicists say!  Still, I had a blast trying to construct magnets, paperclips, and empty beer cans in such a way that they moved on their own... it really does sound crazy.
