Bram Cohen's Blog

Bram_2

Right here.

The creator of BitTorrent, said to carry 30% of the planet's internet traffic, reminds me of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates and their ilk back in the day.

Cohen (above) is way beyond smart (don't even begin to try to imagine), down-to-earth, funny, profane, unrepentant, doesn't suffer fools gladly, and really doesn't much care what you think.

My kind of person.

You can learn much more about what's going down and what's next from his occasional musings in his blog than from close regular reading of the leading newspapers.

Take it from me: I do both.

I wrote about this singular man on January 3, specifically about somehow stumbling across his homepage.

Want more?

Then check out the story about him and his creation which appeared in the January issue of Wired magazine.

Fascinating blog.

I found this bit particularly interesting:

-----------begin quote--------------

I just forgot the word for 'nautilus', and after trying in vain to figure out keywords to locate it in a search engine, I instead tracked down animal, one of the original AI games, which asks you repeated questions to figure out what you're thinking of. After a few minutes with that, I got the answer. This is probably the first time I've ever used something more 'sophisticated' than keywords in a search engine and browsing web sites or just asking another human.
