Great AI article in the NY Times
Le gave me a good-natured hard time for my continual requests for a mental picture of these maps. “Gideon,” he would say, with the blunt regular demurral of Bartleby, “I do not generally like trying to visualize thousand-dimensional vectors in three-dimensional space.”

Also to allow deletion of a record in the portal you have to right click on a portal, go to Portal Setup..., and choose Allow Deletion of Portal Records.

When using VLOOKUP in Excel make sure to use the FALSE parameter on the end
If you don't specify the last parameter Excel does a "close enough is good enough" match which is REALLY annoying to debug.

The real KFC recipe, maybe...
http://www.chicagotribune.com/lifestyles/travel/ct-kfc-recipe-revealed-20160818-story.html
"The original KFC chicken, I think, was better, because it had more breading to it," Ledington says. "It was individually hand-breaded and dropped in those pressure cookers. You cooked it until it started turning brown. And then you put the lid on the pressure cooker and brought it to 12 pounds of pressure for 10 minutes. And then you started letting the pressure off, and when you uncapped it and the pressure was off, it was perfect: golden brown and fall-off-the-bone."

Notes on storytelling
- Drama is anticipation with uncertainty.
- Great characters have a spine/theme (Marlin in the fish in Finding Nemo is all about avoiding harm to child).
- Wonder - capture them, draw them in
