I've had this open in a browser window, glancing at it and listening to the radio for a few moments throughout the day, and now I'm feeling nostalgic for the road trips I took when I was younger, before the total control of smartphones. The serendipitous and unexpected places along the way are often more interesting than the destination. Thanks for building this!

Ellen Ullman's "Programming the Post-Human" from the October 2002 issue of Harper's sheds some really interesting light on AI research, how the brain functions & what it means to be a human. Definitely worth a read if you're interested in the subject & available for free on Harper's site:
