• Mind uploading is the concept of transference of consciousness from a human brain to an alternative medium providing the same functionality. Assuming the process to be possible and repeatable, this would provide immortality to the consciousness, as predicted by futurists such as Ray Kurzweil.^[8]

Mind-to-computer uploading

Main article: Mind uploading

One idea that has been advanced involves uploading an individual's personality and memories via direct mind-computer interface.The individuals memory may be loaded to a computer or to a newly born babies mind. The baby will then grow with previous persons individuality and may not develop his own personality.^[who?] Extropian futurists like Moravec and Kurzweil have proposed that, thanks to exponentially growing computing power, it will someday be possible to upload human consciousness onto a computer system, and live indefinitely in a virtual environment. This could be accomplished via advanced cybernetics, where computer hardware would initially be installed in the brain to help sort memory or accelerate thought processes. Components would be added gradually until the person's entire brain functions were handled by artificial devices, avoiding sharp transitions that would lead to issues of identity. After this point, the human body could be treated as an optional accessory and the mind could be transferred to any sufficiently powerful computer. Persons in this state would then be essentially immortal, short of loss or traumatic destruction of the machines that maintained them.

OH YES!

I tricked yesterday, and it was great! I came back from my illness, with the sickness. THAT is a good play on words yes? Or no, well anyhow I filmed a lot of good things yesterday. I thought I was going to be fatigued because I was sick for about 8 days. I went to the doctor to get my right knee, ankle and wrist checked out. I thought maybe I had a fracture in my wrist and ankle but I'm ok I guess. A mild sprain in my ankle (well mild now, but not a few months ago), a sprained wrist (from punching a bag too hard about a month ago) and my knee is pretty swollen. I can just ice it all and take pain relievers. I'm fine...

Hilary and I are doing good so far with our opposite schedules.
We beat Assassins Creed, and Mirrors Edge for 360. We saw Wolverine, Star Trek and Angels and Demons recently.
Wolverine was ok, and so was Star Trek, I had really high expectations though. Angels and Demons was really well made and it was very suspenseful. The plot reminded me a lot of the plot in Watchmen.

Yo folks...

So yeah I've still been pretty distant from you guys. I'm sorry...
I'm going back to 2nd shift at work. =(
I'll be working 12-830 pm for awhile, then I'll be doing 330-12am shortly afterward.
Hilary and I are working on, making it work out. She still works 1st shift (7-4pm). We figure we'll have more personal time during the week and we'll enjoy our weekends together a little more. I hope this is true and remains true for however long this may be.
Also we're moving back to Springfield at the end of this month. We'll be living in her parents house, because her parents are moving to Texas and we'll get the Springfield house.
=)

As far as training:

Yeah I've been pretty much going two solid good weeks of training and conditioning then I hit a point where I get sick and fatigued and I loose interest. I make some serious gains in those two weeks then I stale out.
Then after a week, I get back at it again.

What I can say is overall I'm happy with my progress but it's not worthy of my expectations I have for my next sampler. I will not show you guys the goods until I'm there.
I want it to showcase my skills as a tricker who has been around through the different generations of tricking.
