Depressed robots
Archaeological digs in ancient dump sites
Watching re-runs of Futurama
Blast shields (Those were so useful!)

I 'missed' death, yet Ray Kurzweil did not, and he was less than ten years older than me. Ironic that such a big-time futurist didn't live to see the future he (didn't quite correctly) predict...

What's the proper spelling of "Nener Nerer," or is it "Na na na na na?"

Never mind, I found it. This is for you, Mr. Kurzweil: :wag:

Synthetics (or Artificial Persons). Especially the HyperDyne Systems Model 101-A2. The A2s were a bit twitchy...

You guys are so funny, pretending humanity wasn't eradicated in 2239. :roll:

Global cooling made humans with gills slightly less practical. But the fetishists still insist on getting implants.

You're all reading this because you've been assimilated.

One is all and all is one.

Plasma stream ovens and waterless antimatter toilets

My partner, Nolian Defteli. He and I were on the frontier, doing mercenary time after a nasty dust up with the Xanthandi. Bleedin' bugs... I sure as hell don't miss them!

Zero Gee-raffes.

Thank God they got griffins right.

My first suitcase car. It was much more stylish in the crocodile than the latest faux-elephant. Plus, it fit under my floating desk much better.

I also wish I had my last computer brain implant back, this one still itches when it backs-up.
