...pretty much got it. He with two acoustic guitarists on either side. He started out with the song "Fadas" a graceful, toe-tapping tune that that skips along as lightly as a stone across a pond. Next he flowed into the goodhearted song "Diz Que Fui Por Ai"; during the instrumental break, he couldn't resist dancing around his stool as his guitarists carried the melody. It was pure enchantment; not just Brazilian music at its best, but art at its finest as well. Melodia's set carried a heavy burden of soul but managed to nonetheless be light...
Math-phobics of the world take heart - if a monkey can do it, anybody can. Researchers at Kyoto University have taught a female chimp named Ai to count and manipulate numbers. In an article published in a forthcoming edition of Nature, researchers report that Ai was usually able to memorize and repeat sequences when flashed with any five numbers between 1 and 9 in random order - putting her at least on par with the average preschooler. Adult humans, in contrast, usually have a difficult time remembering more than seven random numbers (hence the length of phone numbers). Animals have long...

...into a sub-Nicholson Baker riff, we can shift into lamentation. Sad, sad, sad: New is better; pop culture is disposable and laughs at its ancestors; masturbatory fashionistas dictate and bulletproof their fopaganda. Where can we access the past, without fear of reprisal or dismissal? Ad firms parallel the AI race for the perfect chess computer, in their appropriation of our precious individuality and irony, engineering the perfect corporate android to convince us to match the image in the mirror--the billboard, the TV screen--the one now and forever, until the next profit margin rolls around. Who has time...
