Current activities:

Organizing Aleph, the Swedish Transhumanist Association (of which I'm
chairman - at least until sunday, when we have our year meeting :-)

Organizing TransVision 99, a transhumanist meeting in Stockholm June 4-6

Researching memory systems using neural network models, especially of
the interaction between the medial temporal lobe and cortex. I hope
this will help understand how to enhance memory better (as you might
have noticed I collect papers about memory enhancing drugs).

Writing various essays/papers/websites/articles/roleplaying
games/artworks.

Promoting transhumanism in a variety of media, both by giving
interviews and writing.

Learning more about practical psychology and computer science in order
to update myself and my exoself.

Playing around with genetic algorithms, evolution and computer
graphics to create complex systems, both as science, art and
entertainment.

I think periodic questions/calls for action like David's are a good
idea; they remind us that there is a world outside debating how many
PPLs that can dance on a Singularity... :-)
