At the risk of breaking the rhythm of our Wired For War booklab, I think it’s important to call everyone’s attention to one of the most important events of the year, and indeed, something that will, no doubt, go down in history as one of those empirical life referents, a calendar marker that will inspire fond reminiscences as we enter our twilight years… one day: that’s right, Wired has just fired up a UK website. I’m sure bloggers all over the isles will be positioning themselves for the next Microsoft buy-out chance to get picked up and paid to blather blog about techno-geekery. Apropos this symposium: pieces on robot space marines, robots being taught stress avoidance, how action games can boost eyesight, and death bloggers.
