"Robots are just computers with feet"
(That's what the panelist from IBM said.)
Yeah, I survived the side-trip to NYC and I'm back in Boston,
enjoying an SF convention. Which is why I'm not writing much
right now. NYC was interesting, a bit like the worst elements
of London and Glasgow thrown together in a car crusher and,
well, squished. (Officious, intrusive, downright annoying, and
dysfunctional security on the front door of all the
office buildings I went into; just what is it with these
people? I could understand real security, but when
they insist you put your fistful of change back in your pocket
before you walk through the metal detector, and the damn thing
doesn't so much as beep at a concentration of metal that
weighs as much as a knife or a small pistol, you've got to
wonder what the hell is the point of this charade?)
Oh yeah. I am shipping books home in boxes to avoid going over
my airline baggage limit. Memo to self: buy new bookcases,
plural.
