There are a lot of things that I'd like to do.
There are a lot of things that other people would like me to do. 'Bugger off' is probably the main one.
Sometimes these things harmonize, we shall say.
I have been assigned (by myself and others) a few research projects. I would like to do them.
'Do' is a verb I am using on purpose.
Both, or maybe 'all three' are ones that I have wanted to take on for some time now, but never really had occasion to do them. Hell, I still don't have occasion -- I guess it has just come into the public eye.
This may seem a little lackluster for my 100th post, I realize this. However, I should think that this kind of subject should be rather unexpected; I'm not talking about death or about being alone. Hopefully, you will find this a pleasant surprise.

Dan Vs. Transformers 2
So I watched Transformers 2 today.
I was not exactly pleased.
Firstly, why the fuck is there so much shit flying around?
That one fucker that wants to blow up the sun was just using force lift on fucking everything. He can't use the force, he's a machine. Okay, okay he lifted up some tanks first and I thought, 'Oh, magnets'. Then he lifted up some rocks and I though 'ARGH'.
How is he levitating the rocks? He is a machine. He is not biomechanical so it can't be the force. They just lift.
Someone brought up that the older ones can teleport but the newer ones lack this feature. This could suspend my disbelief. Teleporting is dangerous, especially in a battle situation -- if you fudge your co-ordinates you end up inside a wall, or worse, inside a friendly. Then both of you are dead and it doesn't do any good. It's almost as fast to travel at near lightspeed and significantly less complicated. Well, it's still complicated and still dangerous, but you're a fucking robot. Deal with it.
Speaking of them being robots. There is that one cat one. The rest are bipedal.
There is an inconsistency.
If they are robots, then the next generations are robots built by robots. Because they can design, they must be free thinking. If they are free thinking robots, they immediately hit technological singularity so every robot would be built in the perfect form and perfectly equipped. Simply put -- they would all be standardized because there is only one perfect design. If they are meant to be specialized ...
Why the fuck would they be meant to be specialized, they can fucking shape shift. Christ, even the shape shifting suspends my disbelief -- the big ones are mostly negative space and since they were designed by robots, they can compact and use some cool parts.
