- Winning her over with Typing
My typing speed is fast enough that it helped me woo my wife. When we were both students, I offered to type all her essays for her. In retrospect, nothing was more seminal in winning her over. She loved me for the help, and was delighted in the role-reversal (back in those days, women were often hired as typists).

- Mastering the Game of Go (AlphaGo 2016)
The game of Go has long been viewed as the most challenging of classic games for artificial intelligence owing to its enormous search space and the difficulty of evaluating board positions and moves.

- Linux Announcement
I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready.
