Cyberpunk is Dead
I don't know how many times I've read posts or articles declaring that Cyberpunk is Dead, not for a long time though I have to admit. Cyberpunk aint just dead, it's buried. 
Actually this entry is a slightly tongue in cheek way of bringing some sad news. Cyberpunk isn't dead, it just got too close to reality.
- Virtual reality, we got it
- Mega-corporations, yup
- Ever accelerating technology, check
- Corrupt governments, guess
- Environmental decay, well that's an uncomfortable truth...
Back in the day, a colleague and I setup a forum to discuss cyberpunk issues. Void-Shockz had its moments, but in recent months it has become nothing but a quiet graveyard; haunted only by spammers and silent visitors.
Well, it's time to call it a day, so we're closing it down. This is the official funereal pronouncement on Void-Shockz. 
Meanwhile, life goes on. William Gibson is still alive and well, and so are all the other comrades.
One of the primary facets of cyberpunk is virtual reality, a virtual world you can immerse yourself in. We haven't quite got there yet, but we edge ever closer. The three aspects of technology that must evolve in whatever the tripartite equivalent of a tandem is, are computing power, programming techniques and the communication infrastructure.
If this is even vaguely interesting to you, then you might enjoy the following two entries (on The Techie Blog) :
Programming and Computing in the Future
A look at the direction computing is going, and what programming paradigms are going to survive.
How Will We Get From Here to There ?
So how do we get from the modern text based internet to the cool, hip virtual worlds we all want ?

But You Don't Need One of These
And this definitely isn't an advert either :
You Don't Need One of These
Who said originality was dead... 
For those who might not understand this, the above link takes you to Microsoft's 'new' mp3 player: which just happens to look exactly like the Apple iPod.

The Old Blog Archives
There was so much ancient wisdom distilled into my old blog, that I couldn't let it just creep ignominiously into the pages of cyber-history. More to the point I'm still getting some hits from google with the old entries. Here are the archives of my previous Blogger based blog.
