The NerdGod Delusion

Warren Ellis has posted a nice little rant about Post Singularity nutters.

(Stop looking at me that way!)

Yes I find the concepts of Singularity events fascinating.
Yes I know too much of the finer details. (Mind you anyone with an interest in Nano and has read Kurzweil probably knows some of the finer details)
Yes I suspect an "Information Event Horizon", past which we can make no predictions, is possible.
Yes I did make career decisions based on the possibility.
No I don't think it has to happen.
No I don't think a post singularity world will nessecarily be a nice place for us meatheads.

GURPS GM Aides

Uncle Bear has raised an interesting query on his main gaming blog.

He wonders if there are applications out there to "Manage" GMing.

I see this as a challenge and will shortly be looking at "Rapid Development" systems to see what I can make.
