Rob belches in response. One of his dreams is to be able to screen movies from his eye. “What I want to do eventually,” he says, “is walk around always shooting Breakfast At Tiffany’s onto a wall, because chicks love it. And Dukes Of Hazzard, because guys love that. That’s why I’m mutilating myself and letting Kosta stick batteries in my face—because mostly, I want people to love me.”
Also via BMEzine, this As Warren Ellis points out, it’s quite interesting. But not at work.
This bloke plans to do the reverse of Robin Williams the robot in Bicentennial Man so that he can pop a projector out of his head whenever he wants to impress the chicks?
It worked for Williams I guess.

After some of the BME links I've regretted following, that was pretty tame - "oh, it's just some guy who's had his dick cut off". The realisation that it was actually some guy who'd deliberately cut off his own dick gave it a certain leg-crossing je ne sais quoi, I'll grant you.

Kathryn Cramer's blog has a category called "Dumb Body Modification". (Actually about RFID, but you get the picture.)

You don't see much of NTK-fave Kevin Warwick these days do you?

A wannabe cyborg is not something to be. In any case, you don't see so much of NTK either, more's the pity. I had that Dave Green in the beam of my theatre lights once. Lovely man.
