Computer playing Rock-paper-scissors!

Computers mimic human reasoning by building on simple rules and statistical averages. Test your strategy against the computer in this rock-paper-scissors game illustrating basic artificial intelligence. Choose from two different modes: novice, where the computer learns to play from scratch, and veteran, where the computer pits over 200,000 rounds of previous experience against you.

I managed to beat it reasonably easily. Still interesting ...

to see before you die!

One thing I would say you must see before you die is Giant sequoias like the one here.

It is the photo of Mariposa grove giant which I took when I visited last year. I really felt like It made my life worth something...

Yet another Great doodle!

Google's new doodle eclipses everything

"this doodle not only shows you the moon's movement, but allows you to move a dial as far backwards and forwards as you like in order to observe whichever minute detail takes your fancy."

This is amazing! In fact many of Google's doodles are awesome. Yet another one I love is this, for pacman!

BTW, I learned of this when searching for this article, it is amazing too - Les paul!

Great Rowan Atkinson (Mr.Bean)!

This person is simply amazing! He is real Genius!

I watched a lot of Mr.bean episodes in the past! I am pretty much addicted to them.

Recently I started watching his stand up comedy in youtube - this is Great! It changed my perception of Mr. Atkinson.

See this video - for example:

Lunar eclipse

We watched full lunar eclipse today. It was nice to know and see the red glow of moon [picture courtesy scienceblogs]. We watched about 99% then cloud screwed it up.

BTW, you could see it from google doodle as well! Very nice job from Google.
