This is

as days pass by, by Stuart Langridge

. Here I write about many things. In the past I wrote about other things but the past is past. I write code for people to play with, I write about my life on Twitter, and I write here.

On I wrote Technology I would like that isn't here yet, on the subject of Musings.

  • A head-up display on my glasses (not something like the Lumus Optical ones that make you look like a tool)
  • A data projector for my mobile that I can actually buy (everyone currently doing these is (a) still in pre-production and (b) not selling them to consumers (because they want to sell a million of them to Motorola, not one of them to me)
  • Memory diamond
  • My cigarette-pack laptop
Are we not in the future yet? Where's my jet pack? What should I be hoping for?

1: Non-carcinognic cigarettes: then I could smoke again.

2: A self-driving car, so it could bring me back after I've been to The Wellington with you.

2: A fully CSS-compliant web browser

Song: The World Before Later On

By: They Might Be Giants

I'm trapped in a world before later on,

I'm trapped in a world before later on,

Where's my hovercraft?

Where's my jet pack?

Where's the font of acquired wisdom that eludes me now?

We're trapped in a world before later on,

We're trapped in a world before later on,

Where's our telray?

Where's our space face?

Where are all the complications we won't see around?

Brian: as it happens I was quoting Leo McGarry, but the emotion is the same :)

I've always wanted windscreen wipers (or some less obstrusive technology with the same purpose) for my glasses. That and the HUD would be ace.

Why does OpenID-enabled Tom get a name, and I only get a URL? Is it my fault or yours?

sil

Phil: not sure. I'll look into it. :)

I don't like the WP openid plugin anyway, because you have to "register" and it's annoying...

Because I am |33t.
