"The man took his dog to the park. After playing ball and seeing a duck he went home."
Intriguing approach to searching unstructured data in the Grey Lady last week. Taking advantage of latent meaning in documents by parsing syntax begs for wider dissemination in commercial software. That's business intelligence. Along with bottom-up metadata, I like where computer language analysis is going.

I've already made plans to attend.
The topic is definitely timely for me; the topics are almost always interesting at chadnug, though the presentation and content are often lacking. I've actually been there a few times before in the last couple of months. Won a pack of playing cards and a black squishy cube.
I'll try to pick you out of the crowd and say hi.

enjoyed the article. A CIA job I could actually do. That's fun. But it's a little scary, too. On the one hand, it means that we are safer from terrorists. On the other hand, it means we are more vulnerable to abusers of the technology. There's always a trade off, I suppose.

Willa, I started responding to you, but the muse bit me. I'll have a blog post up soon that will be a response to your trade-off comment in part. Just don't want to fuel further plots for English-major world domination (which I assume you are a part of).
Bobw, I'll peep you at the show tonight. Big hair, black shirt, blue striped tie.
