Hey You Wake Up!!

This weekend I had the wonderful experience of sleeping in. Well to a certain point anyway. Bam decided after being outside for a while that she would come in and go to bed herself. And I don't think she was happy to find another body in bed. So she climbed on top of me and started to purr. I ignored it hoping she would go away (this is a usual occurance, and normally if you ignore her for long enough she does go away). Unfortunately this was not one of those days, because she proceeded to walk around on my back and the I got a huge SWAT in back of the head. I turned over and she looked at me and purred. So I pet her, and tried to go back to sleep, only to get another SWAT in the nose. Bam obviously felt that it was time for me to get up and for her to get the queen size bed to herself.

So much for sleeping in....

Camping??

Pathfinders has begun. And we are already planning a camping trip for the last weekend of September. I foresee September and October being very busy months for us!!

My computer is dead.

What is semantics?

One of the major problems in designing artificial intelligence is having the computer develop a deep understanding of what is being communicated to it. If you tell a computer that you felt sad yesterday, the computer doesn't truly understand the concept of sad. Similarly, can the computer comprehend the concept of "tree"? Thus, the question is why do words have meaning? Or, in other words, what is semantics?

Help me out, post a comment on this topic.


By the way, I'm a very giving person. I gave my stomach flu to Veronica and now she's sick.

In-The-Trees

I ended my last blog stating that I would talk about an in-the-trees experience. So this is my experience. I went to a place called WildPlay TreeZone (here is the website: http://www.wildplayparks.com/elements/tree_course/treego_fullcourse.html) with my former employer, and the other 3 people I worked with. TreeZone is an obstacle course up in the trees. There are 4 levels: green, blue, red and black. As the levels progress, the obstacles become more difficult, and you get higher in the trees. Now let it be known that you are clipped into the obstacles with 2 big clips, and you also have the equipment to use a zipline. I must say it is crazy! Especially for someone who is afraid of heights (like myself!!). I mean we were so high up in the trees that you could feel and see them moving with the wind. AGH! :)

The obstacles were quite difficult in some cases, because you quite literally have to just let yourself go. Like on the zip lines that are in the higher parts of the trees, as well as the swings where you are clipped in from above, but there is nothing underneath you, scary! There was one fun obstacle that you got to do a tarzan swing into a big rope spiderweb.

It was truly a hair raising experience, and I must say, that I thought of my father the whole time, because he is an adrenalyn junkie like I am!

"It was crazy B'Y!!!"
