Technology I would like that isn’t here yet
- 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?

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?

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…
