Our webmaster, Fred Roberts, who has been MIA (Missing in Action) on this blog as a writer for some time now has won the Loebner Prize for his Elbot. So what or who is Elbot? Find out at its/his/her website at www.elbot.com. According to Silicon Valley news yesterday Elbot 'its shtick --- trying to sound like a puckish human attempting to sound like a computer --- successfully fooled three of the twelve judges. '

Congratulations Fred and now we know what you have been doing with your time and talent!

Thanks for the kind mention! And sorry I haven't had time to write here, or anywhere. I've had so little online time in the last months.

I got my absentee ballot though and I'm voting!
 
Good to hear you voted from Ohio. We too got our ballots from New York.
