It's a creative writing/arts community on the livejournal. I've been reading some of them, and I must say I'm quite impressed. Their new theme for the coming issue is steampunk. Maybe I can write something up.
Oh, and Vernor Vinge posted the full copy of his book, the Rainbow's End on the net. It's an old news, but if you weren't aware of it, I suggest reading it. It's a sci-fi based in coming-of singularity age.
I've read an interesting essay using the concept of irreducible complexity to argue against current version of singularity espoused by the majority of the so-called transhumanists. I found them quite compelling, but maybe it's because I don't really agree with the unreasonably exaggerated vision of what 'singularity' of a human civilization would be like to begin with. Maybe I'll post something on that end later on.
Ugh, my head hurts.
