effing x-prize

Got home, exhausted, from simulating eye contact for four hours. Listened to lots of stuff, in interesting lighting conditions. Anyway, Adeo, whom we sort of know told us about the various x-prizes, one for space exploration, one for life extension. Apparently there are people who pump millions of dollars into these ventures. After getting home, just before I started writing this, i suddenly felt a rush of anger surging inside of me. Life extension! There should be an x-prize for accessibility of the internet, or for cheap braille displays. Groundbreaking stuff like that. Effing x-prize! Edit: oh, I’m probably too angry, I know, but guys: among people like me, there is an unemployment rate of 70%. It’s just not a sexy issue, I realize that. Sending rich old geezers into the stratosphere is.
