On the other hand, the future is kinda kick ass.

Via Warren Ellis and his Bad Signal mailing list - :

"...but what an interesting thought, that soon an entire generation will find their births recorded by friends as live entries on a global communications medium.

And, in little Hank's case, that his entire gestation has been recorded online by his mother as a globally-accessible lifebook.

And that he was born into an extended circle of friends that encircles the planet, who will watch his back for his entire life.

Welcome to Earth, Henry Leo. You're going to do just fine."
