So, currently in a bit of a limbo, as I'm waiting for stuff from my Solicitor so I can move into the flat in London. But until I do so, there's not much else I can do. Looking for a job down here seems pointless as I want to head to London ASAP when I can, but it leaves me rather bereft of occupation till that point.

Discussion of technological singularity, and upload consiousness – Interesting, but its aherents can be as scary as fundamentalist Christians in their own way. I like someones suggestion to see how it reads if you replace every use of "Singularity" with "Flying Spaggetti monster". Via Warren Ellis

That berry sounds fantastic. I never knew anything like it existed. Very cool.

(Plus: "You met him over the internet so he must be safe.") :D

I'm rather curious about what it'd do to the taste of stuff in between sour and sweet.

And also what eating all that sour stuff did to the digestions of the guests the next day.

Ken Macleod described the Singularity as the 'Rapture of the nerds', which I think about sums it up. I think it's an interesting idea, and some entertaining books have been written on the basis of it, but I don't think it's a highly-likely possibility.
