The Machines are taking over
The Jeopardy game against the robot machine named Watson went exactly as i expected, the machine destroyed everybody. In reality it actually didn't destroy anybody tonight but they added the scores from last night making him win by a lot. In one aspect this was a good thing because the machines owners were donating 100% of the winnings compared to the 50% of the other two players. I never really watched jeopardy before but it was fun because one of the guys was from my hometown, Seattle Washington and the other dude was from my friends, Lancaster Pennsylvania. I beat him.

Art 21
I watched the Art21 episode Humor. This episode stared Eleanor Antin, Raymond Pettibon, Elizabeth Murry and Walton Ford. I Thought that most of here art was not that funny at all. In fact i thought that most of these artists art wasn't actually that funny. I did however like some of it. I like Eleanor's boot series and the Shadow Ballet video. I also liked Walton Fords prints. I thought that they looked pretty cool.
The Article THE TEMPORARY AUTONOMOUS ZONE talks is quite dense and hard to understand. My understanding of the reading is that in theory there are these small spaces or zones that people can make or find were there are no governing laws. Once you are at your temporary autonomous zone you are truly free. Today these free zones are more of a dream due to new technology such as satellites....unless yours was underground (although i have a feeling the government would still know). I think the article was saying that the web today serves as a place through which information can be traveled and stored. The internet is a place were someone can make a virtual temporary autonomous zone. This ties into the freedom of knowledge and what is legally allowed to be put on the web compared to what is actually put on the web. In general the idea of a TAZ in this article is very very vague. They do not go into much detail of how to make one or what one in theory should actually look like. Several examples are given in the article although they are all a couple hundred years ago, before every bit of land was governed by some sort of law.
