I’ve recently come across two items I’d like to share with our readers:
1. Patricia Cano, a Latin singer from Sudbury (one of Ori’s ancestral homes). I heard Patricia’s tune “Dança da Solidão” on CBC as I was driving home from work one day, and I liked it so much that I decided to buy her CD, This Is The New World. Patricia switches effortlessly between languages and idioms, as you can hear from the samples on her website, and the overall effect is very pleasant – much more Iberian than Siberian.
2. The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect, an online science fiction novel by Roger Williams. I’ll start with a warning that it’s definitely rated “R,” but its occasional graphic nature didn’t get in the way of my enjoyment of this very engaging story about a technological singularity (chapter 2 in particular). For a couple of days, I was captivated by this story, so I thought I’d share it here to increase its exposure.
