I leave tomorrow for America!

[slycat]

Yep, I'll be off tomorrow. It's so clsoe now, I can almost taste it... or something.

nonezumi was kind enough to do me a con bage before we moved out. Finally got a digital image of it. Here it is...



If you are going to AC, be sure to look out for me wearing that badge :oD

--------

Got me Bomberman Tournament and 2 copies of Doom for GBA (One for bhavfox so we can play on the plane) at £12.99 a pop in the HMV sale which was groovy. Also got me Alpinestars - White Noise as I liked Carbon Kid and wanted more :)

Also today, went to see Minority Report. Is an OK movie - was worried that the trailer gives too much away and I was half right. Where the first hour and half are predictable due to them telling you what it's about in the trailer, by the time you get the real twist, you're too bored to care. Nice special effects, if many of the ideas about the future are complete implausable (Such as animated newpapers that update live (Ever heard of Palm Pilots or Mobile Phones?) and the elaborate transport system).

I can't comment about the transportation thing.. but back when I was living in Silicon Valley, I'd already seen Xerox not only developing but already SELLING technology based about 'electronic paper'.. which feels and looks like laminated paper but has little bits of flipping paper that change the content of the page. If you walk around the malls in California, you'll occasionally see electronic-paper posters and electronic-paper register screens (because they use LOTS less electricity and are simply easier on the eyes than LCD or LED displays). So that one, I can at least sort of buy into as a possibility somewhere down the line. :P
