mentioned in Wired magazine

I don't know if any of you read Wired but it is a great mashup of computers and pop culture. I got tired of reading PC World and this is the only computer magazine I get. Plus it's super cheap, only $12 for 12 issues.

Wired's main article 2 months back was about AI, so I wrote a short quip and they happen to print it. In the March issue with the gray factory picture on the cover, p. 19

Tim Rares complained, "You missed the best application of artificial intelligence: videogames. Without great opponents there cannot be great victory. The advances in AI make Need For Speed and Madden more fun to play.

"Tim Rares" is a combination of my real and online nom de plume.

Additionally Wired mentions the TCG "Race for the Galaxy" on p.76. You can play a computerized version against the AI using this program.

That's really neat. =D
Although.. 'bets'? ;p

I think I have only one Wired magazine and that was about Manga/Anime. I don't think I ever bought any other issue.

Oops, I fixed the typo "bets" to "best". Its a wonder that I can program (or drive) at all sometimes, ha.
