Tomorrow night: We're replaced, and I comment upon it

The end is nigh. Get ready to not have the pod bay doors open. Tomorrow night, Watson, IBM's trivia-genius supercomputer, is making its debut on Jeopardy!
Yes, it sounds impossible, but it is true: A bunch of people even nerdier than Big Quiz Thing fans have designed a computer that can actually comprehend and answer trivia questions (even in Alex Trebek's obnoxiously accented voice). And after a number of impressive trial runs, Watson—as he/she/it is known—is taking on two of Jeopardy!'s all-time greatest champs, Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter (not Jonathan Corbblah, unfortunately). This epic clash between titans of flesh and metal will take place over three nights, starting tomorrow; I find it sadly appropriate that this is happening on Valentine's Day. 7pm, your local ABC affiliate.

And I will be there, cyberspacely: I will be watching, and tweeting my reactions to the event, at twitter.com/bigquizthing. Will I know more than Watson? Will I consider the proceedings fair? Will I cry for the future of trivial competition? Log on to find out, and keep me company, why don't you?
