Just wondering, if I wanted content from this OPML editor to be fed into a Wordpress blog (one that's part of a larger network), how would one go about doing that?

Also, how do I change my email address? I entered the wrong one when I registered and am wondering if comments get emailed...

PS: I like the changes you've made recently! I can't wait until I have time to use this more.

I've interviewed some prominent robotics and artificial intelligence specialists for a project that I've been working on for the past year, and one of the overarching messages is that robots still have a long way to go. While computers are better than the human brain at doing certain tasks, like calculating complex mathematical equations, it's the things that humans do without even being conscious of them that computers have the hardest time with. Visual tasks are one of best examples of this. A child can look at a picture of an elephant and decide it's an animal, even if the child has never seen an elephant before. But a robot would likely have problems with this kind of visual recognition tasks. Fine-tuned motor coordination tasks are another area where humans largely out-perform robots: We will instinctively put our hands up to catch a flying object, but robots are slow to act. At least they have been historically. The robot in this video seems to perform tasks that require very fine-tuned motor skills dependant on the visual system at a degree that could out-perform humans.

Observe Ishikawa Komuro Lab's high-speed robot hand performing impressive acts of dexterity and skillful manipulation.

I mentioned a bug before that doubled posts after edits. These posts are still there. Now I see a potential problem is deleting posts.

I went to my homepage, and clicked the blue arrow next to the post I wanted deleted, clicked the edit button so it opened it post int he OPML editor, clicked the black arrow next to the title, and pressed deleted. All the text was subsequently deleted in the workspace.

I pressed "save" expecting it to delete the post.

An error window popped up sayind "Can't find a sub-table named "atts".

I clicked View to see if the post wa deleted, and an error window pops up to say "Can't view the page because the post hasn't been saved yet."

How do you delete posts?

If you've ever been to Best Buy before, you will probably have noticed that the so-called "Geek Squad" is pretty much the most incompetent group of tech poseur n00bs ever to walk to planet. It seems this is an image Best Buy wants to uphold, as the one Geek Squad employee to exhibit some competency level beyond that of a Comcast tech-support representative, is now being forced out of his job.

The offense: Making this amazing viral video illustrating the irrationality of Apple consumers:

From examiner.com:

>>>"Unless you live under a rock or donŐt enjoy funny things, you have probably seen the hilarious video called iPhone 4 versus HTC EVO that depicts a potential iPhone 4 customer dealing with a salesman trying to showcase the features the EVO has over the new iPhone.

Best Buy however, did not find it enjoyable, and they are now trying to fire the employee who made the video, 25 year old Brian Maupin from Kansas City, Missouri. He apparently has been selling phones for the company for three and a half years but is now suspended indefinitely because of the video and the attention itŐs gotten.

In his words:

They felt it disparaged a brand they carried (iPhone/Apple) as well as the store itself and were fearful of stockholders & customers being turned off to Best Buy Mobile."<<<

If Best Buy had any concept whatsoever of what it's present consumer base enjoys, they would have used this video to its advantage to enhance its image. Instead, it threw a public tantrum. If I was a Best Buy stockholder, I would realize this company is out-of-touch, at best, and pull out.

I don't think the "subtext" feature is working.

Also, I tried to insert an image from its source on Wikimedia Commons with HTML and it didn't render in the post.

Also, that bit I copied and pasted from Wikipedia apparently isn't rendering either...

The idea for this online identity came about after reading Douglass Ruskoff's Cyberia: Life in the Trenches of Hyperspace last year. I like the idea of Cyberia as a place which one can inhabit. I spend the majority of my waking hours on the Internet, but you can't really exist in the Internet, and you merely swing through the Web. Cyberia is more of a mental place where Internet denizens like myself can say we "are."

Example: "Yo, where were you for the past 10 hours? I texted you like 5 times!" "Sorry man, I was in Cyberia with my headphones on."

So who am I in this Internet place?

Muse:

The Muses in Greek Mythology, poetry, and literature are the goddesses or spirits who inspire the creation of literature and the arts. They were considered the source of the knowledge, related orally for centuries in the ancient culture, that was contained in poetic lyrics and myths. (via Wikipedia)

All I really want to do is inspire people. I usually don't have the attention span to see projects through, and I'd rather share my ideas instead of hoarding them while they go to waste. Too bad there's not a place in today's economy for full-time muses. It's a good hobby to have I guess.

Spell check in the workspace! Because I am a grammatical stickler and completely dependent on it. See, I probably just spelled grammatical wrong. I'm not sure but I'm doubting myself, which is detracting from the confidence I need to blog.
