On a Tuesday evening this spring, Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google, became part man and part machine. About 40 people, all gathered here at a NASA campus for a nine-day, $15,000 course at Singularity University, saw it happen.

Who's got that kind of money to burn? People like this guy:
Robin Tedder, a Scottish baron who lives in Australia and divides his time among managing a personal fortune, racing a yacht and running a vineyard, says he read about Singularity University in an investor newsletter and checked out the Web site.
And this guy:
Among them is Keith Kleiner, who joined Google in its early days and walked away as a wealthy man in 2005. ... Mr. Kleiner, 32, founded a Web site, SingularityHub.com (http://singularityhub.com), with a writing staff that reports on radical advances in technology. He has also given $100,000 to Singularity University. He admires Mr. Kurzweil’s vision.
Tip for the New York Times: It's "website", one word. No need to capitalize the "w". It's 2010, not 1995.
