If you haven’t read 0wnz0red by Cory Doctorow, do it. Hacking the body, the ultimate in programmer wet dreams. Like I said the other day, I would kill for a CLR wrapper to the body’s internal systems.
I guess for now we have to settle for a little biochemistry, a little neuropsychology, exercise and nutrition science, and so on, to bend our bodies and minds to our wills. However, the physical attributes of many geeks notwithstanding, we’re exactly the demographic to learn and dissect this kind of thing.
I guess that’s just a pseudorandom thought from me. I’m unhappy with my current mental and physical state, and I intend to refactor it. Stay tuned.
