At least two Lispers will meet today at 2PM in Bountiful Bread in Styvesant Plaza to share a kind thought or two about the inventor of Lisp. Feel free to join.

Sorry about the late notice

Come to think of it, with lisp-generated AI, why should I stop at two :-)

So long. They're coming to take me away-ha-ha ...

With Lisp-generated AI, nobody has to show up; they just send their representative
programs.

Is it because you do not believe in strong AI that you think this means
that nobody has to show up; they just send their representative
programs?

Tell me about your father.

Dr. Demento was broadcast by some Canadian stations in the 1980's. I taped that
song on casette in Toronto. It constituted some of my earliest
English-learning materials, haha. Another thing I got a kick out of
was "Russian Bandstand". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRq7phYWS7U

When an acquaintance saw me with a heavy AI textbook he asked whether I
feel that I need a brain prosthesis................
