You should contact Google and see about getting one of the Google Glass prototypes from them. Considering your unique condition, I bet they would be willing to work with you. I could see that being really awesome for someone with STML, it could help you with reminders and such pretty dramatically. And you can use it to record the things you see and hear, so if you're going to do something awesome, you can record it and re-watch it later so you don't forget!

Just a thought. Thanks so much for the AMA! It's very interesting to hear about your life. I don't have STML to the point where it's a serious hindrance, but my short-term memory is definitely not my strong suit. This gives me a lot of perspective, so thanks again!!!

First off, I just want to say that I can't believe this only has 60-odd responses. This is something that I've been interested in for a long time.

A couple questions:

What programming language(s) did you use for this project? What computer did you use? I assume it was one of the IBM or Sun Microsystems behemoths... How familiar are you with the Blue Brain project? Do you have any contact with the group behind that?

Lastly, what's your best guess as to when we'll see the first legitimate artificial intelligence? 20 years? 50 years? Assuming that computing power continues on its' average growth trend from the last 20 years.

420 kids? At a Washington-Colorado Super Bowl? Am I the only one laughing at this?
