Hello, Martin. What can I do for you? "Got a problem." "A big one?" "Female human-sized." - Charles Stross

My impressions are of a huge stainless steel kitchen and Australian expat waiters on rollerblades beaming infrared orders and wide-eyed smiles at each other from handheld computers as they skate around the refectory tables, where earnest young things in tiny rectangular spectacles discuss Derrida’s influence on alcopop marketing via the next big dot-sad IPO, or whatever it is the “in” herd is obsessing about these days over their gyoza and organic buckwheat ramen.

Having a policy based on works of fiction is worse than having no policy at all.

You know, if I tried to change the minds of everyone who I thought needed changing, I’d never have time to do anything else.
