Virgin Bobba Tattoo
This tattoo can be summed up in one word, epic.
Perhaps you don’t understand the amount of awesome in this tattoo… He has a Virgin Mary-Bobba Fett tattoo with Han flipping Solo as the heart!

Watchmen Love Tattoo
If you don’t recognize the image above, read The Watchmen by Alan Moore. Close your browser, run to the bookstore, and read this graphic novel. The movie isn’t a substitute read it.

Turn Me On Tattoo
Obscure, minimalist, and nerdy… what the best tattoos are made of.

Apple Fanboy Tattoo
The connection between a fanboy and his mac is closer than Steve Job’s turtle neck is around his neck. Some fanboys will even brand themselves with the Apple Logo to “think differently”.

D20 Tattoo
When I think of a D&D roll player, I usually think that they want to conceal that fact. But these geeks are out of the closet (or is that basement?) Lets hope he keeps that muscle build… in a few years that die may loose some air!

Heartris Tattoo
An artist must have loved tetris! There are a lot of tetris tattos, but there is a bit more creative spark behind this one.

Helvetica Tattoo
Want to arouse a typography nerd? Embed the definition of minimalism into your flesh with helvetica. If you ever want a break up send them love notes in papyrus.

Legos are so f*cking cool!

Parents, do you want your childrens creativity to grow? Stop sending them to piano lessons, they will never use it anyway, and buy em a huge flippin set of legos.

Mario Jedi Tattoo
What is more awesome than Mario? Jedi Mario of course…

Pacman Tattoo
Neat tattoo, not sure if I’d want it on my hand though. It would be pretty sweet to have it wrap around an ancle or something…. since you can go around continuously on the map.

Guitar Hero Tattoo
This tattoo is atrociously awesome. The type of tattoo that makes you feel bad for not thinking of it first. Personally I never got

Pen Tool Tattoo
Illustrator users, behold in envy, the pen tool tattoo.

Super Hero Tattoo
Who cares if wonderwoman starts sagging when I’m 40, I’m getting this on my chest.

I am resisting the urge to add the ‘Song of Time’ to every page on this blog as I write this…

Sorry for the downtime folks!

Apparently one of our plugins was causing some troubles.  We bought the plugin “Global Translator Pro” in hopes that we could have translations of our site available to a larger community but, the code is a bit buggy.

Hope to have the translations working again soon as well!

Cyberpunk has slowly evolved and muted into Transhumanism.  Shedding the skin of their grungy punk father into a new savvy coat.  The transhumaist community has grown out of the lone basement dwelling “console cowboy” to computer enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and otaku fanboys.

These culture represents the future.  Their aim may be slightly high, as the Age of Spitual Machines will show, but they will eventually hit their targets.  A machine as intelligent as you and I or transferring your minds “self” through an electronic medium sound like science fiction now, but what technology hasn’t?  If you explained the relativity of space and time to Aristotle he would think you were mad.  This culture beats a path to the future so others can follow.  Gaining cultural acceptance for ideas like genetically modified children or funding artificial general intelligence have very real benefits and we have the transumanists to thank.

We have enjoyed the presence of transhumanism since the birth of cyberpunk.  The highly acclaimed cyberpunk author, William Gibson, wrote in Neuromancer about transhuman-esque individuals, the panther moderns.  They seize upon the latest technologies and integrating electronic components.  Serial Experiment Lain is more transhumanist than cyberpunk.  She realizes that reality is not confined to the world of atoms as we see but, extend to the electronic medium.  The quintessential cyberpunk magazine, 2600, has even made mention.

Transhumaism isn’t so much a new idea but, a refined and elegant version of cyberpunk.
