We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

Is this a new hairstyle?
Personally, I have long wanted a CPU socket and PCI bus built directly into my cranium, but it has not been possible until now.
Already, though, I am getting upgrade envy. It really needs to be Socket 939 and PCI Express.

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

A little socket behind the ear, a la William Gibson perhaps?
We are the Borg. Your diversity will be assimilated into our own. Resistance is futile.
I see this blog entry was duplicated earlier on. And here I was thinking the double-post was an annoying affliction of just the commentariat!
I suggest you rent “The President’s Analyist” and see where this urge really comes from. :p
I’ve vowed to be the first person on my block to go cyborg.
