Go to joyoftech and get your geek on.

I just found joyoftech!  I'm such a n00b.  It is a webcomic that you may need a high level geekiness to find humorous.  This means you.

I like how they have a poll attached to each comic, too.  The poll for this comic asked, "What you would do with your own Google Android?"  I know what I would do. 

I can't wait for December to be history.  Yeah, I don't do the holidaze ... but really I just want January to be here so I can watch the Sarah Conner Chronicles.  I'm warning all of you, now.  This show better not suck.

Speaking of things Terminator, I think we're closer to that dystopian future than most people realize.  I'd say we're about halfway there technologically, but because knowledge and innovation seem to progress exponentially, the relatively short time it will take will surprise us.

To me, halfway there means that humans are still involved at the present time.  Robots are used in hazardous environments under the direction of humans.  The Mars Rovers are one example.  Deep-sea mini-subs, pilotless military aircraft, and little bomb disposal robots are other examples.

The thing that got me thinking about this was watching this video on CNN about a working exoskelton developed by Sarcos for the military.  Well, at least they didn't name their company Sauron.
