Are you a Borg? Do you want to be a Borg? What would becoming a Borg do for you?
We are all to some extent becoming Borg. Some of us more so and faster then others but in they end we will assimilate you.
Some of us depend on our technology to survive, some to keep from getting lost others to keep from getting bored. (Bored, not Borged!)
one of my friends at work who would not consider himself Borg has 2 cell phones a beeper and a PDA. Is he Borg? Maybe not.
I have my PPC, cell (Bluetooth connection both always on) my TENS and my GPS (not yet a Bluetooth model but soon, I will give the old one to a friend when I get the new one.)
Not only that but I am developing my own HUD and will probably convert that to an camera/HUD as soon as I can.
some people have technology but use it little, others of us depend on them. I go camping and take solar chargers for my computer in my drybag.
So what do you have that may or may not make you Borg? Are you?
Assimilation over Evolution, you will be Assimilated!
This is my journey from human to Borg and you are invited along for the ride.

What not to do after an F1
I just watched Truely win the Monaco F1 and then left where I was watching it, jumped into a vehicle with 300 HP and this is not a good combination. Smoking tires and sliding corners I decided that running around town at 60+ might attract attention and I pulled it in a bit.
Of course being borg I knew the speed i was going and where i was due to my always there GPS unit. Borg never get lost, we use electronic bread crumbs.

My latest computer virus scare
My sister-in-law got a virus on her computer today. Well it's been there a week or so but I took the time to ID it today. I got to thinking. What if my newly connected computerized life support system (I use wearable medical devices that I have connected together and to my pocket PC to make controlling them easier and well the PPC is wireless to the net all the time) What if they got a computer virus, or a virus that infected my PPC made them go haywire.
Not a pretty sight believe me. I have an antivirus software installed on all my connection points but not on the PPC; not enough mem to put one.
One more thing for a Borg to think about.

My Technology
I am sitting here typing into my computer when I could be just dictating it, except the voice control for computers is just not there yet.
I would like to do this with my pocket PC but it's not even ready to take commands yet.There is the new Voice Command for Pocket PC but with only 128 meg of ram and no hard drive having enough storage space for the software and the tables and pattern analysis software is not going to fit.
On the PC you can do some with Microsofts new voice command SDK. But the recognition rate is lower then the rate on my 10 year old Mac.
For now the part of a borg that listens is still the biological part.

Definition of a Borg.
Yes you watch Star Trek and you know what a Borg is. Are there any actually living wth us? Not the TV type but there are a ton of people who i consider to be real Borg.
The word Borg is a shortened form of the word cyborg which is a just a person with non-organic parts. These parts must augment the persons life in some way such as a person with a pacemaker is a borg because they have an embedded device that keeps them alive. (If that is not an augmentation of their life them what is?)
I am a borg because of my use of electronic devoces to control pain. I use a tens machine all the time. I also have other devices I use all the time such as my pocket PC and other devices in my Personal Area Network (PAN).
I believe there are a ton of us out there and we need to gather the collective via the internet and hopefully we can do this by using blogs and IM.

Welcome
Hi,
I am in the process of moving my blog here from another site.
I am not moving all of the posts here but will start fresh and hopefully I can get a better more mature audience here.
