Here I sit in the office, everyone else having bailed. The good side to this is that I can not feel bad about blasting Soul Coughing loud enough to hear it on the other side of the building. I'm waiting for Chris to come pick me up, and then perhaps we'll go pick up the copy of "Artificial Intelligence" that I preordered at the maul. Chris volunteered to take my car to get the emissions inspection I forgot I needed so that I can renew my expired registration. That's a sign of real love, when someone offers to deal with the DMV for you. Heh, he's been invoked and just showed up. Shoulda tried that half an hour ago. ;)

Which author(s) of the AI book? Just curious...

"maul" (giggle)

Spielberg. ;) (This time it was the movie.)

Oops... *context-shift*

And because of the question, I spent all day wracking my brain to try to remember the exact title and author of the AI book I have at home, with no success. And I've discovered it's not on the bookshelf where I thought it was, so I'm going to spend another little while obsessing over what the heck it is. ;)

Shucks... didn't mean to set you off, in that sense. I had wondered idly because one of the more popular current AI books is co-written by my former boss (Peter Norvig), who's now over at Google.

Nice userpic, BTW... is that an old photo (given the B&W)?

No worries. =) It's just one of those frustrating things that I can *see* the cover in my head, I just can't remember who wrote it and I can't search Amazon for "that AI book with a red and green cover, in paperback". ;) Do you know offhand the title of the book you mentioned? My "things to read" stack is getting dangerously low.

Thank you. It was taken at Arisia a couple of years ago and I just photoshopped it a bit.
