Ok people I have not updated my blog in about a month and half. I have just documented the transplanting of the tomatoes into 5 gallon buckets. But over the weekend, before I was able to post the update, some birds ate the tomato plants. I did not expect this at all. I have three small strawberry plants that are still living but I don't know what is going to happen to them.

On to some other subjects, I read an issue of Make magazine this weekend, they had an article about a guy that has combined AI and Genetic programming. Supposedly the cluster of 1000 computers breeds and weeds out ideas until it gets a solution or improvement to the problem. This idea was very fascinating to me, what ideas can this computer cluster come up with. The creator said that we wanted hard problems that he could give to the cluster to solve, he is currently working on an alternative to the Electoral College. I mean goodness gracious, find some thing more important to put your time to especially since this computer has such promise.

My suggestion: South Carolina Schools
