1. Animal Intelligence
Our views of human intelligence seem both so simplistic and so unnecessary! Why do we seek our signs of "intelligence" from our animal cousins, anyways? What is it that we want to prove? Surely we can tell that animals are capable, communicative, and adaptive. Personally, that is all the evidence of intelligence that I need. The differences between animals' behavior is certainly interesting, but creating an intelligent hierarchy does nothing but maintain our own pedestal in the animal kingdom.
2.Wow! The game of Life is awesome. It looks like ice patterns or something being scattered by a stream. For such a contrived, technological thing, it struck me as very "natural" looking - ordered but not necessarily symmetrical.
