1. George Dyson visits Google (to read):

   My visit to Google? ... The mood was playful, yet there was a palpable reverence in the air. "We are not scanning all those books to be read by people," explained one of my hosts after my talk. "We are scanning them to be read by an AI."

3. PyMat -- Python to MATLAB Interface:

   NumPy is a set of numerical extensions for Python that introduces a multidimensional array type and a rich set of matrix operations and mathematical functions. Users who have MATLAB 5 installed, however, may wish to take advantage of some of MATLAB's additional functions, including the plotting interface. The PyMat module acts as an interface between NumPy arrays in Python and a MATLAB engine session, allowing arrays to be passed back and forth and arbitrary commands to be executed in the MATLAB workspace.

5. Jason on the TextDrive forum:

   I remember the first time I met a real crazy. And what I mean is someone that you wouldn't think was crazy.

   Also, while I'm quoting from the TxD forum, this scene from Alias just sounds darn cool.
