       Writing stories

       I was digging through some old files and ran across a story
       I started writing back in 2010 called Emergence. It's a piece of
       speculative fiction about the creation of the world's first
       artificial intelligence. It's somewhat technical, but only enough
       to ground it in a reasonable scientific basis for development of
       the story. My goal was to focus more on the human questions, "what
       constitutes life?", "what is our place in a universe with AI?",
       "do our concepts of morality extend to artificial beings?".
       
       I read back on what I had written so far and it didn't horribly
       offend me. The subject also seemed especially appropriate to the
       gopher audience, you misfits with your love of old tech and duct
       tape. I've picked it up and added it to my gopher hole. In fact,
       I added a whole writing section where I hope to share some other
       goodies in the future. For now, the first few chapters of the
       story can be found at the link below. Let me know what you think
       so far.
