The other day the following comic from XKCD struck me as amusing:


We actually reached the future about three years ago.

It also made me think, the last gift I got my mother was a robot. I bought my mother a roomba and now she has a robot roaming free in her home. I may be working with a team designing a robotic soccer team. My friends mother was buying digital picture frames for her parents. We live in a science fiction world and NO ONE NOTICED. We all carry communicators. I am laying in bed typing this on a machine about 10000 times more powerful than what sent men to the moon. If the allies had this computer during WWII Hitler would have been dead,,,, crap godwins law.

Anyway I hope I see Firefly style space fight in my life time. If that happens I am totally going to use the line ‘isn’t that a little to science fiction?’ ‘you live on a spaceship dear.’
Technology still amazes me. I mean I am amazed that I have three computers in my room, each one more powerful than the last. The most powerful could be considered a super computer, it is, in fact, more powerful than a lot of the ‘big iron‘ of the ’80s. No one’s hacking MY gibson let me tell ya. Indeed with the addition of my latest HDD (750Gb) I now have almost 3 TERABYTES of storage!! o_O 4 gigs of ram, 64 bit processor. Amazing,,

okay random ramblings done. I’m out for the night.
