Wow. At least he walks the walk. If, and that’s a big if, he’s legit, then he probably is the leading edge of the transhuman wave, though most of what he has done is more along the lines of gimmick than true augmentation.

Let let me know when I can order a full Terminator upgrade and I’ll be golden.

And just think...someone could terminate his life with the click of a mouse button if he was wired for that.

Interesting in a cyberpunk sort of way.

Better hope he never needs an MRI.

When implanted, they become technological sensory organs.

No thanks...

I want to do this. And if anyone wants to fund it, I’m available.

I’m still susceptible to pain, but I’m also a bit of a piercing afficionado. The idea of these sensations intrigues me.

I wonder if a trans-dermal anchor could give the same results ? Then it could be removed should an MRI be employed.

One thing that I thought was weird: 40 watts? You couldn’t boil water in an hour.
