good signs that 2012 is gonna be my year

  • 60+ degree weather (WUT)
  • a reassuringly clean, strong without being destructive, warmish wind alllllll day
  • the highest level of creativity and appreciation of my own writing since…2008?
  • perfect relationship is perfect (i.e. couldn’t be happier at almost 6 months and we’ve worked through some intense shit already so here’s to many moar =D)
  • iTunes U is probably the most beautiful thing to happen to me since the Last Lecture (this weekend = me + knowledge = crying)
  • keen understanding of how silly things are, and just how much I don’t need to stress
  • concrete ways I can accomplish my goals this year
  • totally translated a guy’s Icelandic shirt (in the iPadToday podcast) (it said “I don’t speak Icelandic” lawl), like a boss, because I can still kinda read a little bit of Icelandic
  • a positive outlook on the future all up in this bitch
  • having another one of the best weekends I could possibly imagine
  • reading this aloud in my head in a TUMBLR VOICE
  • watching this list degenerate into me saying silly things
  • going back to my angsty homosexual interspecies animal story now

“I am now filming your bionic hand with my bionic eye.”

These words have been uttered – and aren’t science fiction.

Some of you may remember an awesome and startling video I posted in August for the video game, Deus Ex: Human Revolution (here). It depicted a dystopian future brought about by transhumanist upgrades from corrupt companies. Well, the Deus Ex people hired Rob Spense, a self-proclaimed “eyeborg” (who kinda reminds me of an early Snake Plisskin), to produce this mini-documentary about the current state of transhumanist upgrades, such as bionic eyes and limbs. Pretty interesting stuff, and I love that it was done by a game company, which is fascinating in itself.

“I mean, who says that a normal human leg is the optimal thing for you. [Our] species evolved to this leg we have now, but who says that’s the end of the line?”

Welcome to the Future everyone! Happy New Years from RCS!
