They're everywhere!

So how about some sort of nano-router that can forward an internet connection, even if it's only a fraction of a milimeter? If you have enough of them embedded in paint, floating in the air, hitching a ride with the dust that permeates our lives, couldn't you create an everywhere accessible internet?

Politics

It seems there is a growing number of people who only exist comfortably in a virtual world, and many of those who deal best with reality are virtually lost.

How long before we have real governments and virtual nations with no physical boundaries, only ideological groupings?

How long before someone sets up a floating squatters island where those who can afford it live only in a virtual world with all their other needs taken care of?

Can you give up you're real world nationality/identity in favor of an online persona?

Family

Just got through with a wonderful family reunion. For pics and such, sorry, you're going to have to find me on Facebook. My boys are of the official opinion that my brothers are great to hang around and listen to, but they're glad I'm their dad. Made me feel like I'm at least doing one thing right. Hopefully get to see my folks in a week or two (they're planning a visit, but the exact dates are up in the air).
