I miss you more than Michael Bay missed the mark
It would be one thing if Michael Bay were merely a bad director. Bay is, in fact, a very bad director, evidenced not just by the more epic and bombastic flourishes of his movies but, rather, how ...
Pissing against the wind
Aah, Hell, what's the use? Nobody listens to me. Nobody cares. A cry for help isn't any use when no-one gives a fuck. I wish there was an option so that no-one can leave private notes. I don't ...
PSN
For those who care, this is me on the PSN. Be advised that, should you send me a friend-request, I won't accept it if you don't leave a message explaining where you saw my PSN ID.
A Reminder
I don't allow private notes. Since this site allows private notes, I'm kinda forced to do the following: If you leave a private note of any kind, I will either publicly copy your note into an en...
I cannot go through this again

Sad Ending
This is probably the most fucked up C+H animation to date. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=me5rX7Y9XKU
Rogue Legacy
Rogue Legacy has just landed on the PSN, which is awesome because it's an addictive little platformer that everyone should play at some point... but it's a tenner, and call me cheap but I think t...
The next time...
...some asshole uses a line as lame as this, just do what she does:
Futility
Such a pointless waste of time has never felt so frustrating. Because Gemma earns as much as she does (which is modest for one person but for two people is barely scraping by) I do not qualify f...
Neverwinter
The only reason I stopped playing Neverwinter Nights was because my laptop was acting up at the time and I was getting horrible frames in outdoor areas, but now that I've fixed it up to the best ...
Holy fuck
Seriously. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Rim-m4Wtcqo
Shotgun blast
So have you guys heard about this Richard Norris guy? He survived a shotgun blast to the face and ended up like this: Ten years of research later, he now has a normal-looking face which could ...
Court result
Well, I'm still here. The pre-sentence report was excellent, but because I have this outstanding Crown matter, the magistrates adjourned my sentencing until after the Crown has sentenced me for t...
Court
I'm in court today. Wish me luck. If I don't update this evening, you'll know what the result was.
What the what the what
Read this. This is the craziest fucking thing I have ever read, hands down. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/pool-phones-yoga-world-intrudes-amish-now-home-165031547.html#aItIoDz Arranging to cut peop...
Tomorrow
I'm in court tomorrow. If I don't update tomorrow evening GMT, you'll know what happened.
Wars
Just dug up a bunch of old Star Wars PC games I forgot I had. We have Galactic Battlegrounds, Battlefront 1 + 2, KotOR 1 + 2, and the entire Jedi Knight series. It looks like it's gonna rain, wh...
Done.
Social media exists for reasons that completely fucking baffle me. Why do any of us have a facebook or twitter account? More to the point, why do we think we need these things? Twitter exists so...
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you:

Stuffs
Tagbox went off again yesterday, twice. They keep threatening to bring someone round to have a look at it, but they don't. It's driving a wedge between me and Gemma; it's come to the point where ...
Good news!
Have you heard the Good News about our saviour and lord, Jesus H Christ? Don't worry if you haven't! Here's a video that should explain everything! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p15wb7M3IsA
The Sims 2 Ultimate Edition
The full version of The Sims 2, with all expansions - and it's now completely free of charge. You need to have an Origin account (which is free). Once you have that account, go to the site or op...
Software piracy - stop calling it "theft"
When I was a kid, we'd record music off the radio and make mixtapes. The audio quality of cassette tapes was pretty junk, so the quality of recorded music was nearly as bad as the "authentic" cas...

Book Description
Transhumanism is a loosely defined movement that has developed gradually over the past two decades. It promotes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding and evaluating the opportunities for enhancing the human condition and the human organism opened up by the advancement of technology. Attention is given to both present technologies, like genetic engineering and information technology, and anticipated future ones, such as molecular nanotechnology and artificial intelligence.
The enhancement options being discussed include radical extension of human health-span, eradication of disease, elimination of unnecessary suffering, and augmentation of human intellectual, physical, and emotional capacities. Other transhumanist themes include space colonization and the possibility of creating superintelligent machines, along with other potential developments that could profoundly alter the human condition. The ambit is not limited to gadgets and medicine, but encompasses also economic, social, institutional designs, cultural development, and psychological skills and techniques.
