[21] “Actually what we will see, which will be truly scary and dangerous is genetic and biological engineering.”

We are already seeing that, OYF. Flourescent critters ring a bell? How about the 2008 Nobel Prize Winner in Chemistry?

Actually what we will see, which will be truly scary and dangerous is genetic and biological engineering. And some people thought computers were scary.

Thank you for the memories. I didn’t know or didn’t remember the rhubarb. I certainly remember the fourth no-no.

Pure poetry. Anyone who doesn’t listen to both calls in their entirety has missed a chance to understand how great Scully is and why it is more important to be a baseball fan than to just root for a team or two.

Happy 4th. Read the Declaration of Independence before eating dogs and burgers.

[17] Thank God you “make time for nostalgia” RYI, 18 year-old scotch notwithstanding…

As for the future (say a decade from now), I wouldn’t try to predict anything specific. But I bet the next huge thing will involve embedded systems.

“Wonder what our kids will see…”

Well, you mean the stuff still to come? I’ll tell you what my kids simply cannot believe didn’t exist in my childhood: personal computers. (“But how did you surf the web, then? There were no iPhones, right? Did you all have Blackberries?”)

[4] I am back, yes. I did indeed take a walk on the Royal Mile! It was very, very foggy (not atypical, of course), so I didn’t hike up Arthur’s Seat, which I’d planned to do. But (as I mentioned in an earlier thread) I brought home some Glen Morangie. Duty Free (not sure how much that saved, actually), and a good souvenir.

The traveling part did suck a lot, though. Continental Airlines is now on my shit list.

“I wonder what our kids will see. I have to think ‘the transporter room’ is next.”

[9] Or absolute societal and ecological collapse… ;-)

[9] “I wonder what our kids will see.”

Twittering to their idiot friends, “I’m on the subway now.” or “I’m taking a shit.” needs a bit of work, wouldn’t you agree?
