This is a normal post I'm studying philosophy
But I'm a massive bookworm. Yeah, I've read some other stuff like a bit of Ginsberg and Kesey. What others could you recommend?

He reeeally liked to fuck boys.

This is a normal post I gotta be honest with yez......
I figure that in order to understand Burroughs, you have to be on the same drug as he is...(wotever the fuck THAT might be). I tried to read his book "X" & put the bastard down after 20 pages.....it was crap!!

This is a normal post It's challenging stuff but worth it.
It took me three attempts to get through 'Naked Lunch'.

This is a normal post He argued
That he joined in defense of free speech. I'm not sure how much I believe that, or even if it's a good thing. Ah well, the man wrote good poetry.

I wouldn't mind learning more about the MOD tech you've played with.

This is a normal post I only saw the end result of some tech that was probably years old in military terms
But it was still pretty cool, mini-cameras focused on my eye movement to move cursors around the screen.

TBH, you can buy that level of stuff in high street stores (nearly anyway). This was a few years ago I tried it out, when it was more novel.

The coolest thing I've seen lately, which I'm sure has origins in military tech too, is a new bit of kit by OCZ. It allows you to control your computer by thought on a *very* basic level, but it's the sort of thing we'll probably be using at work to help people with disabilities

This is a normal post Oh yeah, I know those.
Eye/thought recognition is defintely the way things are going.

There's some good demos of both on YouTubes.

Also, did you see the new holographic technology used by CNN during the elections? It's called TelePresence, cool shit.

This is a normal post I heard about it
but didn't follow up any of the links at the time; I should do so really. Exciting times though; Telepresence does sound cool

This is a normal post intriguing. little bit of useless info, line of sight recognition is built into
a fair few high end SLR (Single lens reflex) cameras these days, so that when peering through the viewfinder, you can focus on individual points by looking at them. genius shit.
