Adaptive A.I. Inc. was formed in December 2001 with the express goal of developing and commercializing an effective, fully functional (and probably a world-first) general intelligence software engine.
The company now has seventeen full-time members on its team, who in a relatively short time have made significant headway towards their goal. In 2005 the company transitioned from a research focus to practical implementation. Adaptive A.I. is currently in an intense engineering/development phase geared towards commercialization.
The current project of Adaptive A.I. (called Project Aigo) is planned to be completed by January 2009. The realization of this project is intended to result in the creation of so-called high-level thinking computers that are capable of self-recursive improvement.
The final aim of the company is to develop human-level artificial general intelligence preferably before 2012, but definitely by 2017 at the very latest.

Giant Cookie Friday is the celebration of the end of the work week, culminating in the eating of a giant cookie, decorated to mark the wonderous occassion. It's just as important as Earth Day.
First celebrated on February 1, 2008, the inaugural Giant Cookie Friday was celebrated by four gentlemen not willing to share their half-frosted, half-naked cookie.
Eventually, after realizing the cookie made them sleepy, they began sharing this coveted cookie. It should also be noted Free Popcorn Friday was moved to Thursdays for fear of domination (and ultimate extinction) by Giant Cookie Friday.
Some have said Giant Cookie Friday should be celebrated nation-wide.
