Entries this day: Amy Predictions

Amy

1:00am Saturday 9 March 2002

I have fallen in love with Amy even more today but she's MARRIED I had to keep telling myself and remind myself how horrible it was with a married couple as I screwed around with the wife. Not that Amy has given me any indication that she would partake in any indescretion (right word?) except being smily and happy and a tad flirtatious.

As Amy and I were leaving Mission Burrito (after a lovely lunch) in her BMW, I was watching traffic as she planned to turn right though there was a big truck blocking our view of the traffic and she saw me loooking and guessed (correctly) I was maybe a bit nervous, put her hand up to block my eyes saying, "trust me" and I licked her hand. She neither winced nor squeaked nor slapped me (nor oooh nor ahhed nor left her hand there.)

Anyway, she's hot and active and cute and funny and listens to The Box (hip hop) and several other things I'm sure. But she's married and likes to drink. And she's only 26. Sigh.

12:12pm Sunday 10 March 2002

Talked to Amy for 32 minutes this morning, prompted by my need to get a ride from the airport after returning from London and Paris with Bryn. Told Amy about my weekend and listened to fun stories about their pool turning green recently. (so recent that hubby is out getting chlorine tablets now)

I offered to let Amy listen to my most recently recorded KTRU tape.

Predictions

March 2002

I found this in The Harrow Technology Report.

Ian Pearson and Ian Neild of BTexact Technologies (an
offshoot of British Telecom), use the information
available from many sources (including The Harrow
Technology Report, I'm pleased to say), plus their own
expertise, to assign probable dates to significant
technological events.  And the results can be very
interesting and instructive.  Consider these few
examples:

-         2003 - first synthetic organic life form.

-         2005 - computers that write their own
software.

-         2006 - first artificial electronic life, and
first organism brought back from extinction.

-         2010 - highest earning celebrity is
synthetic.

-         2015 - machine use of human-like creativity

-         2020 - electronic life form given basic
rights, and insect-sized robots banned in gardens due
to effects on wildlife.

Ian and Ian's timeline offers many, many more examples
in the areas of Artificial Intelligence,
Biotechnology, Business & Education, Demographics,
Displays, Energy, the Environment, Home & Office
Technology, Living in a Cyberworld, Machine Senses,
Materials Sciences, Computer Electronics, Robotics,
and more.  They offer a thought-provoking walk through
our possible future history.

May you find it as thought-provoking as did I.
