Long time no dance until now

Thoughts

I've always been fascinated with books, movies, and games involved with augmentation of the mind and body. H+, The Matrix, Half Life, Deus Ex, things like that. Not exactly robotic and "hardware" augments, like I Robot. More of "software" augments or implanted augments, almost like real dreams or thought and emotional controlling augments, and stories of such things going wrong. Remotely hackable things, conspiracy styled fantasy, that can be almost plausible, yet always has a hero styled hacker group, making hackers and underground groups look like good guys. 

I am a huge fan of Google+, and their new glasses project. I want to see the development a success, and I want to see that become a marketable item. I would really buy a set of those. They are bringing stories I am a fan of to life. I just hope that the bad end of the stories doesn't completely affect Google+. The horror of the stories I read should stay in the stories, even if the horror effects are plausible.
