Random: one of my friends has their journal titled (or maybe sub-titled) "Is this Turing test going to be open-book?" (For the un-initiated, the Turing test is a test against which we measure AI, which basically challenges a human interacting at a terminal to decide if the other participant is another human or a computer; and computer program that's mistaken for human passes the test.) And that got me to thinking some... really weird things. But among the less-weird thoughts was something along the lines of "how hard would it be to make a blog bot who could post at such intervals and with such content that they could be mistaken as just another human blogger? Extra points for commenting of Friends' posts, extra-extra points for carrying on comment-conversations.

Typing this up (and noting that I type with one finger, hunt-and-peck stype) it occured to me that QWERTY keyboards end up caysing you (or me, I guess) to type in circles and figure-eights a lot. I think that's kind of annoying, really.

I need to go to bed.
