While I know how to play chess, I can’t say that I enjoy it because I know my opponent is always thinking something like this.

Thinking Machine 4 explores the invisible, elusive nature of thought. Play chess against a transparent intelligence, its evolving thought process visible on the board before you.

The artwork is an artificial intelligence program, ready to play chess with the viewer. If the viewer confronts the program, the computer’s thought process is sketched on screen as it plays. A map is created from the traces of literally thousands of possible futures as the program tries to decide its best move. Those traces become a key to the invisible lines of force in the game as well as a window into the spirit of a thinking machine.

It’s actually a very fascinating way to look at the game.

It might sting a bit. Link via BB.

But dude, those things are made for a woman.

I’m finally getting around to clearing out my RSS feeds, and came across this hilarious (and painful) tale on Jack’s site about getting male genitalia waxed. You’ve been warned.

I didn’t need to get snipped. All I really need to do is piss off this lady enough, and she’ll end up biting off both my nuts (that guy got away with one of them still intact). Thanks several people for the link.

I’m sure this hot sauce feels something like that. Thanks Barn for the link.

If you’re trying to sell a car (like I am — will post more info and prices once I clean the thing all up), make sure you don’t get scammed by Nigerian-esque scams, like Scott almost did.
