Final Jeopardy is won by a computer?!! Man vs. Machine!

I watched it play out on television. IBM’s newest computer by the name of Watson played against the top two all-time winning contestants to ever be on the game show Jeopardy! It was fun to watch, but you just have to wonder if it is a novelty computer or one that could change the world.

So, I read Final Jeopardy: Man vs. Machine and the Quest to Know Everything by Stephen Baker who was allowed into IBM to watch all this behind the scenes. I’m not one to like technical books so I was happy to find the book didn’t require me to have a PhD to read it. It was actually really fun to read. It was written so the average person could enjoy it.

It talks about how Watson came to be and how they got the producers of Jeopardy to agree to let Watson play and then all the interesting stuff about that, but it also talks about the implications of Watson, how close we are to artificial intelligence and what Watson will be doing AFTER the game.

Here’s a video I found about the book and you can see the author talking a bit about it too- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-_KnJMkzzc

For all you aspiring nerds you have GOT to check this out! LOL

Darkest Mercy is a Faerie Tale that will Rock Your Mortal World!

I am just so happy to read something cool that doesn’t have vampires or werewolves in it! Don’t get me wrong, I love the whole vampires and werewolves thing, but sometimes you just need to clear your reading pallet. So why not add faeries to the list of totally cool, hot and interesting to read about to my list?

Darkest Mercy is the last installment of the Wicked Lovely series by Melissa Marr and I just heard that Universal Studios is going to make a movie out of the series! So thrilled!

It starts out with Ash, a mortal girl who has the ability to see faeries that are invisible to most humans. And these faeries are NOT Tinker Bell type faeries. That’s where it starts with Wicked Lovely, but there are others in the series and Ash ends up the Summer Queen and the love of her life ends up something else. Long story short, there’s about to be a war and some people are choosing sides while others are killing off the competition.

I love these characters!!!! Seth is so hot! Keenan is brooding and you just don’t know who will end up with whom. But the romance is pretty secondary to the overall storyline. I mean, it’s there and I think people will dig it, but the main story is the faery court intrigue, the war and all that stuff.

Give it a try! I found the video for Darkest Mercy! Here is a link- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0QJjxmO-v0

Oh and check out the music in that video. VERY cool!
