I'm glad McGinn criticizes Kurzweil's use of anthropomorphic language. I'm only in CH 3 and have been waiting for him to translate his friendly, talking recognizers back into neuroscience.

Also bothersome is Kurzweil's repeated but unacknowledged use of Chomsky's ideas about recursion in language.

Has anyone seen a better critique of Kurzweil's "How To Create A Mind?" I'm reading it now and have been kind of hankering for an analysis to compare my own issues/questions with.

I also gifted myself an Arduino (Leonardo/Micro) over the holidays and have had a lot of fun working through the basic exercises and thinking up imaginative ways to use it.

Check out this Arduino for Beginners (In Comic Form) - probably particularly good for those of you who gifted an Arduino to children, and links to other resources in the last panels.
