Kasparov draws against computer. The latest Man v Machine chess series ends in a tie - as Russian grandmaster Garry Kasparov plays it safe during the final game. [BBC News | Technology | UK Edition]
It was really strange to see highlights of the chess match on ESPN at a bar last night. But if golf is a sport then maybe chess should be, too.

I tend to get too focused on the why rather than the what can I do about it.

I wonder what posesses someone to come up with a weblog like this one. It's educational, though.

Crazy Octopus Tricks: in Munich, they trained one to open jars, but it only opens jars with treats inside. They're so smart I almost feel bad eating them. But hey, if we weren't meant to eat animals, they wouldn't be made out of meat, would they?
My dad had a client who had a saltwater aquarium with an octopus in it. Close to it was a freshwater aquarium. He noticed that every once in a while, a fish would just disappear from the freshwater acquarium. One day he woke up at the middle of the night and noticed the octopus moving across the room with a fish.
I kind of wonder if it's a tall tale. Octopuses are invertabrates and so I'm not so sure that they would be capable of motion on land. But they're smart enough to do it.
