The Gospel of Alan Turing

I must say I like Turing in his own words better -- so far -- than in Neal
Stephenson's (Christmas gift). I'm not holding my breath, but I do keep an
open mind, vis-a-vis a thinking, feeling, soulful machine.

I had a long conversation the other day with a UC Berkeley researcher who's
building bio-chips. Still only at wafer scale, but progress is remarkable.
No telling what might result.  Whatever creates this universe seems capable
of just about anything we can imagine, after all.

Thanks,
Doug
