07/23/2004 04:46 AMThe current ish of Popular Science (August 2004) is on stands now,
with a great piece on Charlie Stross and me as science fiction writers
who are doing good work on the Singularity (alas, the piece isn't
online yet, but it's easy to find in shops). I'm really happy with how
it came out, but wanted to give out one tiny bit of errata for the
record: the article identifies me as a co-founder of boingboing.net --
although I'm a proud co-editor of BB, the founding was done by my pal
Mark Frauenfelder and his wife Carla Sinclair.

Charlie Stross, posthuman: April Fools'
from Paul Di Filippo
04/03/2005 01:24 PMCory Doctorow:
Paul Di Filippo wrote a great April Fools' article for Locus on my pal
and collaborator Charlie Stross becoming posthuman:
"Charlie was teetering on the precipice of transhumanism for the whole
last year," said his friend and collaborator Cory Doctorow. "His
lifestyle and cerebral/neurological capabilities had been ramped up
through intensive ideation and selective smart-drug use to an
exquisite pitch just short of the Singularity. When he laid his hands
on that sweet, sweet hunk of hardware, it provided the critical mass
of complexification necessary to tip him over fully into the Extropian
ideal condition."
The resulting state-change brought total en-bobblement to an area of
several cubic miles surrounding the store where Stross made his
climactic purchase. It is presumed that the newly born ineffable deity
once known as Stross is localized within the stasis-sphere, but
authorities differ over containment theories.

You people are some of the most disgusting examples of a waste of
protoplasm I’ve ever had the displeasure to hear about.
Sean Penn, you’re a traitor to the United States of America. You
gave
aid and comfort to the enemy. How many American lives will your
little, ”fact finding trip“ to Iraq cost? You encouraged Saddam to
think that we didn’t have the stomach for war.
You people protect one of the most evil men on the face of this
earth
and won’t lift a finger to save the life of an unborn baby.

The Vatican has
appointed Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone to speak out against Dan
Brown's
The
Da Vinci Code. From Reuters:
"A lot of novels do good but this book is rotten food
... it does harm, not good," Bertone said in the 30-minute interview
in the offices of the Vatican's doctrinal department.
"This book is a sack full of lies against the Church, against the real
history of Christianity and against Christ himself," said Bertone,
archbishop of northern Genoa.... "I would ask the author of this book
and similar ones to be more respectful because freedom of expression
has limits when it does not respect others," he said...
Bertone said he was stunned that Catholic bookstores, even those near
the Vatican, were selling the book.
"It's impossible to pull the book off shelves of general bookstores
... but certainly not selling it in Catholic bookstores would be a
good first step," he said.

Derren Brown, mentalist

03/28/2005 07:32 PMDavid Pescovitz:
The New York Times profiles
Derren Brown, a British
mentalist whose stage performances and TV specials are apparently a
huge hit in the UK. He seems to be a master of
Neuro
-linguisitic Programming. From the article:
Brown taught himself hypnotism, branched out into standard
forms of magic and began performing in pubs and at parties.
One night, having just performed a particularly elaborate card trick,
he realized that what he had enjoyed most was not the trick's
execution, but its psychology, the interplay between magician and
subject.
Brown devised a new approach that combines magic and psychology,
tricks of the hands with tricks of the mind. Each of his programs
starts with a disclaimer in which he asserts, essentially, that he is
not supernatural, only clever.
