I'm back

back blogging after being sick and very busy for the last few weeks with college and stuff (well still sick unfortunately) ... can't resist posting this pretty hilarious craig's list ad I came across via my google job. People sure do use that for everything!

Random Fact Time

ok, so I haven't updated for a while, with moving and and getting used to college life. But here's a really interesting fact/comparison I found while reading my IST hw/book on search engines. In 2005 "Google had over 175,000 computers devoted to it's search engine. That's more than existed on Earth in the early 1970's." Maybe it's just me but I find that an amazing statistic. As a side note this book ("The Search" by John Battelle) provides a pretty interesting scenario in how Google's search database could be used to create HAL from 2001 A Space Odyssey, and the connection between search engines and AI.
