Allow myself to introduce... myself.

There's nothing like an introduction out of place. But since I'm a sometimes fan of chaos, it makes perfect sense for me to pause from my ramblings and fill you in on who I am and what I'm trying to accomplish here. If you've stumbled to this link from my friend Jef's blog, Quizzicles, then you probably have heard about me before. I am AI. I worked with Jef at a major evil insurance conglomerate bent on world domination for almost 4 years before he moved on to greener pastures. The moniker, AI, which Jef has used to preserve some degree of anonymity for me is how I have derived the name of my blog; Artificially Intelligent. Not that I've actually had my intelligence artificially enhanced in any way (I'm 100% natural, kids) but its just a quirky enough name to appeal to my particular style of self-deprecating humor (a speciality of mine.) As you can see, I lack focus sometimes. Not exactly ADD, but more like a mild form of Tourette's. I love to talk, and writing is an extension of that to some degree. So back to the "introduction." I'm a computer nerd, self-professed geek and all around renaissance man. I love music, I love to perform, and I love to make people laugh. Which, of course, is why I'm a programmer. Maybe someday I'll take care of that career miscalculation. I certainly can't say it was a bad choice though. I've been afforded the opportunity to befriend a whole host of fantastic people since I've started down this path, and I wouldn't trade that for anything. And as for what I'm trying to accomplish with this blog? Well that's the beauty of blogging, isn't it? I'm not trying to accomplish anything. This is merely another creative outlet and one that I hope to explore more fully in the days and weeks ahead. Hope you enjoy the ride. Air discomfort bags are located on the back of the seat in front of you.

Power!! Unlimited Power!!!

Well at long last, myself and a group of co-worker friends got out to see Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, and it was quite a treat. Getting to see a movie like that with friends is really cool, especially when they bring their kids along to share in the experience. I get a kick out of hearing what they think about things.


It never ceases to amaze me how rude some people can be, though. Sitting in the theater tonight there was a couple of guys sitting behind us and this guy was just blabbing his head off through the whole movie talking about what he thought of every little detail. What a pain. Don't know why, but I'm the only one who seems to notice stuff like that. Drives me crazy! I had to surpress the urge to turn around and tell him to shut up. Probably a good thing that I didn't.

But now the real question is, what's the next movie that we can all get together and see?? I mean Lord of the Rings is finished now. No more Star Wars. The Matrix movies are done. I'm running low on high quality trilogy entertainment!! Did see a trailer that gives me hope though. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

Never read the books by C.S. Lewis, but the special effects are being done by the same group of people that did LOTR and its quite compelling to see on the screen. Its a Christmas time movie so that might be something to look forward to. Of course in the meantime, we're just getting started on Summer blockbuster season and it looks like it going to be a bumper crop!

Until next time... peace out.

Brave New World...

Well, its been a long time coming, but I thought I would take a crack at this whole Blogging fad. I'm certain I'll have very little to add in the way of valuable content to the bloated cesspool that is the Internet, but that's not stopped anyone before, has it?! Heck no!

So stay tuned and watch this space for new and exciting nuggets of Artificially Intelligent wisdom. Who knows, you might learn something...
