Today, Reese Arconati began second grade at Parker Road Elementary. Olivia will also be attending school in Early Childhood Education.

In 1995, Arnold Vincent Arconati* wrote a Doctoral Thesis for the University of Missouri at Rolla.

The application of Markov state probabilities in developing artificially intelligent managerial strategies: a case study based on major league baseball – by Arnold V. Arconati

From what I can tell it appears to be an interesting scientific paper on the case study of replacing a team’s owner or manager with a computer and how well the artificial intelligence might do. I see there might be lots of applications of this from a better understanding of management and leadership in general to practical applications in sports video games and other areas for artificial intelligence.

You can purchase a copy through the ACM Portal. The ACM or Association for Computing Machinery is the world’s first educational and scientific computing society.

* Arnold is one of my father’s cousins.

We have an important announcment:

Arconati Family Reunion

Please save the date for Sunday, September 10^th, 2006. The gathering will be from noon to 4pm at…

Questions? Call Jeanne at (636)379-1051.

I’ll see you there!

Good news! The progeny of Lisa and Jim will increase next year when they have their third child. The due date is February 22^nd of 2007, but the baby will most likely be early.

Update (2006/07/09): The due date listed above is no longer valid. The pregnancy unfortunately resulted in a miscarriage. See Jimmy’s Blog Entry for more information. They are planning to try again as soon as physically possible.

In the Arconati Family of web sites, several of the separate blog projects have been moved into the main directory of the new Arconati Surname site hosted with Network Solutions. These include:

• New! Music Playlist Holocron – Listen and sample a few songs found on the internet, usually via del.icio.us
• ArcoJedi’s Friends Directory – previously unmentioned here, but a long-time part of the Arconati Network
• Lisa’s 30^th Birthday (archive)

The plan is to move the other sites in the reverse order of importance. We will be able to use the other domains – Mudhorny.com (done!) & ColorburstVideo.com (pending) – within the same hosting plan with minimal effort. Stay tuned!

There is a new website in the Arconati Network. Though the focus has not yet been announced, the site is hosted with Network Solutions. Some or all of the other sites in the Arconati Family will be hosted within sub-areas of this new hub.

Accouncing: Arconati.name – Surname Arconati

Stay logged on for more details. Thank you!

Today, the number of visitors/visits to the Arconati.us site exceeded 2000 as tracked by the ándale counter.

This is not stupendous amazing or anything, but I consider it an accomplishment. We may have more news soon about moving this site to another host (from hermess.org to Network Solutions) so I will keep everyone updated.

We are proud to announce the addition of another site in the Arconati Network.

Colorburst Video

ColorBurst will likely be a provider of mid-range video post-production services – editing, titling, sound-sweetening, motion graphics, and so on. Thank you for visiting.

This new site is managed by James E. Arconati and James A. Arconati. The site is currently using the blog hosting provided by Google‘s Blogspot.

Congratulations are in order for Lisa Arconati as tonight she pulled of a very successful Surprise 30^th birthday party for husband James A. Arconati. There were hints, of course, and besides a small amount of suspicion, Jimmy was most genuinely surprised. The best part was the mix of old friends and family at the house, some of which had not yet seen it since Jim’s family moved in.

Jim was born on February 22, 1976.

Having so much done for him in such a short time is sure to give him a biggerbig ego. Thanks go out to everyone in attendance.
