 ”Rise of the Machines”

just testing the new design. Matt, the WordPress cover boy model, er, administrator/ corporate entity, says the theme changes color with the photo you upload. And it does! The machine can read colors, wadyaknow! next thing, it will read our thoughts we won’t have to type,  we’ll just plug a gizmo in our earlobes. wave of the future.

       actually, the program can also read what we write,  in the very literal sense (what we write as words but not as concepts) there’s a new feature that indicates at the foot of your own blog post  all possibly related posts worldwide (ooops, they appear, i think, a day later; my previous posts have them, this one still doesn’t, the machine takes an entire day to go over 100,000 new posts worldwide); no, it can’t read like us, i.e., i think it just recognizes frequently occurring words in all WordPress posts worldwide  and puts together those that have the same frequently occurring words as “possibly related posts”.  So… no, the machines still don’t  think the way we do. Not yet anyway….

            In a couple of months, with the automation of elections in the ARMM or the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, machines will replace (yehey!!!!) precinct election inspectors, precinct election watchers, precinct goons and thugs, and hopefully, precinct brawling and mauling — they’ll all be transferred to the city hall level. “brave new world”. i’m mixing my sci-fi genre and titles.

        (okay, i just found out this theme is not widget-aware, you can’t see my tag clouds and category clouds. etc. i can’t even put it my meta!  click the icon at the foot left hand corner of the blog for a window to categories. The theme also doesn’t read the photos of the older posts, e.g., the fourth previous posts and those older)
