Gargoyle.

I want to be a Gargoyle. Not a grey block of wrought gothic stone in the shape of a demon, rather, I want to be a self-contained calculation dvice, a man living simultaneously in the realm of the so-called "real" and that of the "digital" or "cyberspace". A new mp3 player uses methanol fuel cells as a power source, rather than conventional batteries. While still not terribly efficient, methanol batteries have the potential to store considerably more battery power in a smaller space than lithium-ion. This brings us one step closer to the level of portability required for Gargoyle style devices, such as those described in Snow Crash.

I want to be a Gargoyle. Soon.
