Via Michael Anissimov, Pictures for Sad Children's cartoon about the Singularity.
It's not bad, but there's still a hole in my life from the Alien Loves Predator hiatus. Thanks God for the pleasing consistency of Wondermark!

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference True things said in jest:
I'm a research director at the Institute for the Future, a think tank in Silicon Valley. I'm also an Associate Fellow at Oxford University's Saïd Business School, and a Senior Research Scholar in the Science Technology and Society program at Stanford University.
At the Institute, I work on the future of science and technology. In my free time I'm working on a book on the end of cyberspace. More details are available in my c.v. (PDF). My first book, Empire and the Sun: Victorian Solar Eclipse Expeditions, was published by Stanford University Press in 2002.
I also keep up-to-date profiles on LinkedIn and Facebook.

Meh, I totally disagree with the cartoon. "Singularity" simply means smarter-than-human intelligence: nothing more, nothing less. If people think that smarter-than-human intelligence can be equated with more toys for the rich, they're idiots.
