Not sure if this is worth of OLPness, but Ray Kurzweil made gaming news today. He is going to deliver the keynote speech at the GDC (Game Developers Conference) which is a largely known gaming event that takes place each year.

Here is a linky for ya'll.

The guys over at the gaming blog, Joystiq, had a much more sarcastic take on the announcement.

For those of us attending the Game Developer's Conference this February, we've got something new and juicy to look forward to. Ray Kurzweil – author, entrepreneur, and the Sultan of Singularity himself – will be delivering the keynote, entitled "The Next 20 Years of Gaming." If you're not familiar with Kurzweil, we recommend you set aside an afternoon and read his lengthy Wikipedia entry. In short, he practically invented the flatbed scanner, he believes that nanomachinery can help humans achieve immortality, he's written a ton of best-selling books predicting all sorts of things like some modern-day Nostradamus, and he's apparently a great speaker.

... yeah, we're really looking forward to that keynote all of a sudden, too.

I started reading The Age of Spiritual Machines and it's actually much easier to understand than I thought it would be. I am rather enjoying it. I don't see what has these guys' knickers in a twist.

I'll have to put that on my list.

I'm reading Jim Cramers: Mad Money for Life right now.

I read the articles in Playboy all the time:
