Oh!

lol!

Thanks Dave. I think this project is really funny in the sense that, in my
opinion, it opens up the question of risk in it's home space - the mind -
and how culturally we take risk with digital technologies.

Am I reading too much into this..?

Also, on the risk note, perhaps
http://www.egs.edu/faculty/anne-dufourmantelle/videos/on-risking-life/
will be of interest..?

Cheers!
