Left-brain/right-brain

I read an article this afternoon in the Santiago Times that led me to some interesting stuff. The article, which appears to be a follow-on to a piece about an exhibition of the sketches of the late Uraguayan artist Joaquín Torres García at the Museo de Artes Visuales in Santiago, discusses a color test and the ways in which men and women process color. I took the test many times and only after about six times did I really do well. The first two times I scored a flat zero, even though I really did understand what I was supposed to do. It's amazing how badly my brain processed the instructions. Take the test at http://www.njagyouth.org/colortest.htm.

After doing so badly at the test, I went back to the page that first told me about it and read on. I became interested in learning more about Richard Kostelanetz, whose 'visual poem' entitled PO/EMS he is permitting the Santiago Times to publish over the coming weeks. The beginning is presented on the page referenced above. I did some Internet surfing and discovered more of his work, some of which I find really interesting. I've bookmarked quite a few pages about him or, more correctly, of his work.

I could get used to aimlessly surfing the Internet, stopping to read interesting stuff at will, with no constraints on my time nor obligations on my bank account. I will have to start selling information about mystery shopping. It seems everyone and his or her dog is swindling people out of their money with bogus promises of riches from shopping and makikng a record of their experiences. It's all such BS! But, there appear to be many, many people who are willing to part with their money to learn how they, too, can make money simply by going shopping!. It is legitimate, but no one is going to make lots of money...except the scammers who make the promises.
