Hi. My name is Kelly Reeves and this is my blog. I really love cats and the internet.

The rise and fall of Urlesque, the site that wanted to take memes mainstream by @blurintofocus for @dailydot

Building this site and community was one of the most exciting, rewarding things of my career thus far.

Parsing both those layers — the behavior and the meta-behavior, the story told and the story of why it’s being told that way — can be an entertainment in its own right, and speculating on creative decisions has long been a fascination for wrestling fans. This is how a lot of fields work these days. The audiences and the creators labor alongside each other, building from both ends, to conceive a universe with its own logic: invented worlds that, however false they may be, nevertheless feel good and right and amusing to untangle.

As millennials shy away from conventional driving habits and car ownership, they’re not dooming the auto industry—they’re showing carmakers a new way forward. Qualcomm VP of Strategic Development for automotive Chris Borroni-Bird explains why on Qualcomm Spark.

Word nerds have got their work cut out for them: Emojis are compounding the complexity of digital communication. Linguist Tyler Schnoebelen takes a look at how software might help us better understand all those smileys and pizza slices on Qualcomm Spark.

Prayer hands or high five? Sure, we humans interpret emoji differently... will machines be better at it?

A Beginner’s Guide to Deep Neural Networks

Short webisode from Nat & Lo’s 20% Project for Research at Google explains in simple terms what machine learning and deep neural networks are:

Last year, we (a couple of people who knew nothing about how voice search works) set out to make a video about the research that’s gone into teaching computers to recognize speech and understand language. Making the video was eye-opening and brain-opening. It introduced us to concepts we’d never heard of – like machine learning and artificial neural networks – and ever since, we’ve been kind of fascinated by them. Machine learning, in particular, is a very active area of Computer Science research, with far-ranging applications beyond voice search – like machine translation, image recognition and description, and Google Voice transcription. So… still curious to know more (and having just started this project) we found Google researchers Greg Corrado and Christopher Olah and ambushed them with our machine learning questions.

Love those Japanese photo booths. The video output was even more insane.
