I’ve worked on many Grammy nominated spoken word albums in the past. In 2010 I worked on Woody Allen’s The Woody Allen Collection. The video above shows who won the Grammy.

Welcome To The Rileys
Amazon
$23.99
It’s Rileys. Not Riley’s. Welcome To The Rileys is a good average indie flick starring James Gandolfini and Kristen Stewart. The acting was good and apparently Gandolfini is much different on The Sopranos. I have yet to see an episode. This move looks great on blu-ray and was color graded fairly well and was shot on film. There are more continuity errors than a normal movie but it’s not distracting.
Welcome To The Rileys starts slow but once the premise is declared it gets very interesting to watch the story play out. I’d recommend seeing this. Enjoy.

As you may know, I’m heavily invested in technology and it’s future. I haven’t been awed like this since 2003 when Hypersonic Sound was demoed. I didn’t realize then but it was the perfect combination of technology and a human. I have been awed again in a good way.
TIME magazine has published a great article about the famous Ray Kurzweil’s thoughts on the future. Nothing humans have done in the sci-fi realm has come close to this future (because it’s quite boring actually). Kurzweil plots the logarithmic rate at which technology increases. He does this forwards and backwards in time. He talks about the inevitability of reverse engineering the human brain. He talks about the science of immortality and how it’s been achieved in other species. Right now no network of computers can remotely compete with fully emulating a human brain. The brain is quite complex. Kurzweil says 2045 is the year we will be able to engineer that.
There are plenty of things that can happen to the human race to delay all this from happening. The article doesn’t touch upon those things but it doesn’t need to. This isn’t about the IBM computer named Watson beating people on Jeopardy. That’s child’s play and not ture artificial intelligence. Watson is a very basic use of technology and it’s brain could have easily been built 50 years ago. Not impressive. Please read this TIME article. My only comment on immortality is that when a human is immortal there is no urgency in any of his actions, which means no actions happen. That is the start of many horrible things. We may not want that. Enjoy.
