About me"I say it's because humans discard their robots once they're redundant. When owners trade up to newer models, some of those abandoned become vagrants, and degenerate. Perhaps it's a protest against their own obsolescence"

"It can also be argued that DNA is nothing more than a program designed to preserve itself. Life has become more complex in the overwhelming sea of information. And life, when organized into species, relies upon genes to be its memory system. So man is an individual only because of his intentional memory. But memory cannot be defined, but it defines mankind. The advent of computers and the subsequent accumulation of uncalculable data has given rise to a new system of memory and thought, parallel to your own. Humanity has underestimated the consequences of computerization."

About my libraryI am currently trying to absorb as much Japanese/Chinese/Korean/Philippine literature and culture as I can, however, I am very much a fan of computer security topics and most recently I have decided to add some economics to the 'hard drive'.

It goes without saying that history is necessary to understanding the present, so I am never far away from reading a history book.
