Catherine: I have someone in mind to model; just need to work out the details.

You thought the Matrix was just a movie? Nerds have been dreaming of a Technological Rapture since Hans Moravec started having sexual fantasies about robot bed-partners in the 1960s. Now even the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), one of the two largest research organizations in the world, is fantasizing too: http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/singularity
This web page is at least 30% as transhumanist as the movie Transformers, though maybe not for Greg.
Thomson: Greg and I were checking out some spoilers for the new Transformers last night. One of the new additions is a pair of ‘twin’ autobots that come together to form a pink & white ice cream truck.
You know, because it inspires FEAR!
