The origin of life and the future of computers
2013-01-15 13:30:58| Extremetech
Life's crowning achievement, the human brain, seeks to mold for itself the power and directness of the computing machine, while endowing the machine with its own economy of thought and movement. To predict the form their inevitable convergence eventually might take, we can look back now with greater understanding to the early drivers which shaped the creation of life, and reinvigorate these ideas to guide our constructions today.

02.18: The Life and Art of Jazz Piano Legend Marian McPartland
2013-01-15 00:37:55| Powells Books Events Calendar
In a world dominated by men, Marian McPartland distinguished herself as one of the greatest jazz pianists of her age. Born in the U.K. as Margaret Marian Turner, McPartland learned to play classical piano but was attracted to the rhythms of American jazz. Entertaining troops in WWII Europe, she met her future husband, Jimmy McPartland, a young trumpet player who was the protégé of the great Bix Beiderbecke. They were married and, together, made jazz history. At first, Marian played second fiddle to Jimmy in Chicago, but when they moved to New York, Marian and her trio thrilled crowds at the famous Hickory House. Possibly her greatest accomplishment was the creation of NPR's long-running show Piano Jazz. More than the life story of one of our greatest artists, Paul de Barros's Shall We Play That One Together? (St. Martin's) chronicles an age when jazz was a vital art form.
