"We have made you a creature neither of heaven nor of earth, neither mortal nor immortal, in order that you may, as the free and proud shaper of your own being, fashion yourself in the form you may prefer. It will be in your power to descend to the lower, brutish forms of life; you will be able, through your own decision, to rise again to the superior orders whose life is divine.''
Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, Oration on the Dignity of Man

Posted: Dec 3, 2007

Recent research shows that, as we had long suspected, human beings were evolved to spend four to six hours a days walking around foraging for nuts, berries and small rodents to eat, not sitting entranced in chairs looking at light in a box. One result of our unnatural lifestyle is obesity.

Of course the long term solution is to redesign the human body so that we can remain lean and muscley in meatspace without ever leaving Second Life. In the meantime, those of you who were trying to figure out what Yuletide present to get for Dr. J. - for only $6500 - so that he can continue to wage ideological guerrilla war without ever leaving his office, behold the
Walkstation:

When we get head-up displays we can move our offices into large gymnasiums full of exercise equipment, multi-tasking from station to station. “Next...urrr....Thursday...ungh..is fine...no...just weightlfting...”
