Thanks!

Is that as math-heavy as it looks like? :) I can summarize those books too, presuming that I understand the math involved, but it's slooow and requires special motivation... (and I still haven't even written up the rest of Kurzban's book)

Yeah, it's math heavy. There are definitely things that would be useful to summarize that would require less motivation to achieve. How 'bout Braitenberg's 'Vehicles'? People loved Yvain's Blue-Minimizing Robot, which is basically a robot version of the original 'Vehicles' article and book.

Ooh, Vehicles seems awesome. I'll see if I get around it. (Might take a while.)
