I must admit I'm disappointed that "A Cyborg Manifesto" doesn't have as much to do with actual cyborgs as I first thought.

I'm sick with either a summer cold or a sinus infection and I just found out this evening that my mom passed away sometime on Sunday (Mother's Day). The police found her on her couch today. This is shaping up to be a truly shitty week for all concerned ( Read more... )
