You had such a loud bark, the biggest head, the heaviest feet.
You guarded the back yard fiercely, yet you had the sweetest disposition.
You ran fast, played hard and learned quickly.
You were loyal, adorable, proud, tough, and you made the past ten years a complete and utter joy.
You were loved by many.
And you were gone way too soon.
We’ll miss you, Buddy.
PLEASE NOTE THE CONTEST HAS ENDED AND THE WINNER HAS BEEN CHOSEN. THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING!
It’s my birthday today!!!!
So that means there should be presents, right? Not for me, of course. But for you! Yes for you!
How about a $25 gift certificate to Amazon or B&N? Winner’s choice.
And if I choose an international winner, we’ll do something else like books of equal value from the Book Depository.
To enter to win, tell me what was your best birthday present ever.
I’ll choose a winner Monday.
Now let’s celebrate with cake and tequila! (Don’t mock me. It works.)
Is anyone a Jeopardy fan out there?
Biker Dude and I love Jeopardy. We love to watch the show and attempt to answer as many of the questions as possible in order to see how dumbsmart we are. We figure if they held 5th grade Jeopardy, we’d do all right. Then again, we don’t do very well on Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader, either, so maybe not.
Anyway, this week for three days they’re doing Jeopardy vs SkynetWatson, where two of Jeopardy’s smartest and highest money winning contestants are going against Watson, an IBM computer who has been taught to answer Jeopardy style questions.
Yesterday’s show, the first day of the competition, was fairly interesting. It’s a little artificial intelligence, some baby steps for technology, a bit of man vs machine, and a little trepidation on my part:
I’ve got my eye on you, SkynetWatson….
