First Post

This corner of the Internetosphere (you heard it coined here first) is dedicated to exploring the interaction in between the most intellectually evolved life on earth (us) and our creation (technology) during times where it (our creation) threatens to outstrip us in ways not fully believed, very soon realized, and nearly ubiquitous. 

We're messing  around with really advanced machines in ways that seem modern, every-other-day ways, ways that are increasingly becoming normal because just around the corner is the next new thing to surprise us.

This is a log of this author's perspective on the societal change that is happening along with it, the best of my understanding of why it's all happening, how it's happening, and if there is anything we can do to stop the trend that might see the end of all intelligent life on this humble rock. 

I'm not anti-tech but I am an advocate for privacy, and like Orsen Wells in his classic novel 1984, I think that complacency will lead to our losing our freedoms, losing our privacy, and in doing so, losing our power to do anything about it. Though we disagree slightly on the date.

Also in this web log, you'll occasionally see the inner workings of my mind, trying to sort out the various conflicts between having had religious experiences, being a devote scientist, living the life of an christian turned atheist, struggling with Agnosticism, being 25, and living in 2009, as well as some of my more recent explorations of the tenants of Buddhism, Zen, meditation and Karma.

I hope you will at least find it entertaining, if not enlightening, and that you please comment with your questions, praise, complaints, desires, motives, arguments, rants, marriage proposals, death threats, and general revelry. 

Enjoy,
