I'm convinced you'll be driving one but not being driven in one though ;-) Well, wish you luck, may be you'll get it this Christmas!

Is this your official psychic prediction, or just a friendly hope for the best? Who knows, if the book I'm writing does well, maybe I'll have that Lexus after all.

Ask and you shall be given. Have faith, my friend! From what I can see, you will get that Lexus! I've great feel :-)

It's actually a graphic novel. The title is CLONE. I wrote the story and my buddy is doing the illustrations. Here is my synopsis (in progress). Writing a brief for a 300 page book is daunting: CLONE Summary "There slumbers a song in all things Dreaming on and on…" As British philosopher AJ Ayer compared the search for "self" to Chinese boxes, with each box opened we dive deeper into the human body until finally reaching the elusive condition of the human being and the enigma of being human. In the year 2000 when the genome was sequenced, science unlocked the box of the human body. In the year 2062, the box has been opened. It is a time when humanity will be confronted by its own scientific ambivalence towards life. Either by accident or fate, cognitive psychologist Allan Shapiro stumbles upon an inimitable young boy with disabilities. This boy retains only semantic short-term memory. He doesn't remember names, except his own. He calls himself "TJ2." TJ is a clone, but a clone of whom? When the public learns of TJ's existence it sparks a rude awakening to the impotence of government legislation against impatient and emerging technology. A story about the anxiety and angst of the future, CLONE observes how a single boy can shift the self-schemata of society. This is the tale of those who dare to delve, prying at the last box – the box of the human being – and the unforeseen outcomes that consume them.

Cool! You're on the same wavelength as Steven Spielberg's A.I. Did you watch the movie Artificial Intelligence? I love it and this synopsis you just wrote reminds me of that! May be it's a case of pandora box! I'm currently very much interested in nano technology. Wondering what that'd do to our lifestyle in the coming decade!

Incidentally, the new species of architecture as explained on this video talks about integrating nano tech into architecture.

Yeah, I saw it at the theaters, but haven't seen it in quite awhile. I've been wondering about the nano-technological future and where things are going with this tinkering with the human genome. It's difficult to know how to feel about all this stuff. I go back and forth. Kind of interesting that you mentioned A.I. the logo for CLONE was compared to A.I. by a friend of mine. Maybe Spielberg will pick up the story and make it into a movie. Then I'll have two Lexus'! Maybe even three! Heh, heh...

Well, if you do get 3, I won't mind having ours replaced by a new model Do have one send to Toronto! :-) Deal? IF you get 3 this christmas, that is!

The Quest!!! Since Raiders of the Lost Ark :-) I was there while Israel was bombing Gaza too! What an adventure!

I have effectively turned green with envy...in fact, only a few shades away from the green on the lunch website :-) That's awesome that you get around like that. I am still getting over my fear of being in the air. I've asked my genes to give me wings but either they won't do it or they're taking their sweet time in granting my request.

I guess driving across America in a new Lexus would be just as cool! ;-) I live to fly and if I've had my way, I'd have learned how to fly a jet! Still hoping to one day, either over Alaska or the Grand Canyon :-) Keeping my fingers crossed too! Well, I did get to Antarctica, which was more or less a dream I never actually dreamed about. So, what can I say? :-)
