So in trying to come up with an idea for my project i called my mom, I love my mom b/c she will take you even farther off topic than i will.

“mom, i can’t think of anything”
-silence-
“mom?”
-hahahaha-
“mom?”
-oh what?

“what are you doing?”
-watching that how to lose a guy movie
“oh thats a cute movie” (here’s where we both get distracted)
-have you seen the new Harry Potter movie?
“no mom, i don’t read Harry Potter, no time”
-oh you should, if not for the plot for the computery stuff (did my mom just call me a geek? noooooo….well, maybe)
*ahem “really?”
and here she begins to tell me about Harry getting sucked into a book and i wonder what the hell does this have to do with anything and she finally comes full circle like always…so make it like they are writing into a book. hmmm, so from here visions of sugarplums and AI filled my head and i began to develope mad ideas. I could train an AI to have cybersex with ppl….but you dont have cybersex, you dont know how too…i could, um research…do you really want to expose yourself to that? noooot really.
so i looked at this AIML (artificial intelligence markup language) thing and began to think…based on XML, why couldn’t i used it as navigation of sorts for my website? as you communicate with this bot, she will pop up pages in another window that corisponds to what she is telling you. The only problem here would be makig the bot realistic enough and making her respond with “lead” type comments to guide the user through the site but at the same time maintain the illusion of free will. So the discourse will take some time to develope, but for now…or the two weeks i have before the fair, i am going to work on making a sample conversation about some topic, making the comment trigger a window to open with a relevant link in the window and develope an information site/cd that discusses the project and where i would like to see it go.
