Beyond Cyberpunk

Published at September 26, 2005 in Misc. and Random Thoughts.

Boing Boing just pointed me to the now online version of Beyond Cyberpunk. This is a web-translation of the famous HyperCard stack. I’m kind of sorry I was not a Mac-head in the pre-OS X days, when things like HyperCard were popular. I’ve heard the praises for Hypercard sung high and low, and it makes me want to develop a homebrew or OSS implementation. Meh, just an idea. Still, HyperCard aside, I was (and am) a huge fan of Cyberpunk literature (and all of it’s derivative and descendants). While I was not fortunate enough to be a “user” of Beyond Cyberpunk, a lot of this was the shit I was in to back in the day. Brings back some good memories. Take a gander at it.

Watch your six, Ace!

my new love affair…

First it was the Robovie-M, then it was the Chroino, now, my heart sings for the MANOI. Truth be told, I think my favorite still has to be the Robovie-M, but it’s about $2000. The MANOI costs the same, maybe cheaper, and comes in a nicer looking shell. Maybe this is my personal Pokemon… gotta catch ‘em all…

PS: on a totally different topic (one that I didn’t think warranted a new post), I just read up on the Monomyth theory, and Carl Jung’s concept of anima. I love Wikipedia.
