I’ve just started an affiliate program with Amazon. To celebrate, let me post a link to Fantastic Voyage: Live Long Enough to Live Forever. This is the book I’m going to read next. I will probably sit in at Borders or Barnes&Noble and read it. If you’re not as cheap as me, you can click on the link above to buy it from Amazon and in the process earn me a buck or so.

Fantastic Voyage, by Ray Kurzweil and some other dude is a serious take on the future of human health and mortality. I’ve been reading some of the articles over at Kurzweil’s site, and this stuff is exciting to think about. Super-human AI, nanomachinery. GREAT toilet reading material if I do say so myself. Checkout the “living forever” section to find articles pertaining to the book in question. And checkout the Kurzweil Catalogue to find other great books by this futurist author. I recommend Age of Spiritual Machines.

There is nothing like Kurzweil’s writing to get you excited about life. He makes anything seem possible, reasonable, and down right inevitable. I’ve been compiling some of my own thoughts a nanotech future which should find there way onto this site soon.

In other ‘news’, I’m thinking about adding a comment feature so all you non-existing folks can write back at me. It’s a pretty common feature of most blogs nowadays. However, I’m not going to put time into that until I feel like it might be used. So if you ARE interested in talking back to me, send me an email. It’s your only option.

Have a great day!

That ‘O’ in the upper right of this post-box stands for ‘other’. I think sometime today I will implement a function to make those letters link to a filtered version of the page. Clicking on ‘O’ would show only posts in the ‘other’ category. The idea is that people with different interests can come to my site and get only the information they want. Of course this all assumes that people are interested in what I have to say/write/create.

We’ll see.

This is the third post. This post is special because I am entering it using a custom built tool rather than entering it directly into the database. Let’s see if this works…

Things are looking pretty good now. Let’s see if this post appears above the other one. Man o man, I can’t wait to post something with meat to it.

So here is my first post. Let’s see if it shows up now…
This site will hopefully develop into my very own blog-like-thing. In addition to random rants, I plan on uploading my writing, poetry, and computer games. I’m hoping that one day I will look back on this first post as a rite of passage, a moment worth remembering, a…
