HAL 9000

23 years old

I cropped the picture to spare everyone the view of my chest hair. I think I will take a photo like this every year, and later on in life create a morphing picture of me over the years. The end product would probably be startling.

Today is my day of birth, for those that don't know. I would normally never tell anyone that, but why not. It's easy to remember, since HAL 9000 booted up on January 12th, 1996. I guess it was destiny that I should study logics and programming, and have an interest in consciousness and artificial intelligence.
