The real fakes

Some things I've been thinking about lately, in no particular order:

• Super Toys Last All Summer Long
  - An interesting short story that
  Stanley Kubrick and now Steven Spielberg
  have been working into a movie.


• Andrew Crosse's Acari
  - Was an Englishman in 1837 the first man to create a new form of life? I first heard of this guy in
  Rupert Gould's
  Oddities. Some people think he might have
  been the inspiration for Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.


• Art made Flesh - Now people create art from
  living creatures.


• robotfindskitten - But perhaps some kind of balance can
  be struck between technology and nature.

Oh yeah, I've also done a new Wayward Packet.
