Istiqlál (Independence), 15 Baha (Splendor), 165 B.E. – Friday, April 4, 2008 about 2:19 PM PDT My brother has a blog, all right one of my brother's has a blog. He's had it for some time now. Today's entry has to do with whether or not there is intelligence life on earth. The title is Is There Intelligent Life on Earth, or Do We Only Appear That Way? This is a question I've often asked myself, especially when driving in Las Vegas, but then driving a car in Las Vegas and intelligence doesn't appear to have much to do with each other. All right, maybe I'm being a little hard on Las Vegas drivers. I drive a car in this city so that question may be my intelligence under the microscope. My brother's blog (that sounds like a good title for a short story or poem) is title Eclectic Writer. The subject of today's entry is beauty and the ability of a computer to recognize it. I enjoy my brother's blog entries because they always make me think. This one is especially thought provoking because once you boil beauty down to a set of zeros and ones in a computer memory, then you can boil other things down as well. Scary, isn't it? It also suggests of number of fiction approaches to the subject. I'm adding my brother's blog to my off site blog list. |
