This cheerleader has balls, literally. Supposedly this is at some university in China. What makes it interesting, he isn't trying hard to pass (no makeup or wig), but dressed in uniform, and his moves are so good and his body is so thin that he hardly stands out

brain memory expansion - for reals! (warning - this is science)
I read this article, and dozens of scenarios flooded my head.
http://gizmodo.com/5813821/scientists-create-first-memory-expansion-for-brain
In a nutshell, with a rat, they were able to implant a memory via a digital version of their memory cell. They flipped the switch, rat remembers. Flip it off, rat forgets.
They plan to try monkeys next, which of course could very well reach (within ethical limits) human testing.
So if our memories are what makes us what we are, and those memories could be saved (and transferred), what's to say it's not like the matrix? Download a program, and "I know kung-fu!"
Now let's go beyond combat. Let's say useful everyday stuff. My car breaks, do I call the mechanic, or do I download the latest chilton manual that applies to my car and fix it myself?
Now let's talk serious usefulness. I'm a crossdresser that sucks at makeup, I have no idea how to style my hair, I have horrible fashion sense. I download all the knowledge that a supermodel would have, and suddenly I can make myself look good now!
For that manner, why not download brain implants that would give you feminine mannerisms? female vocals? Granted it can't modify your vocal chords, but speaking female is 75% inflection.
Now this would NOT allow you to body swap (move memories from one body to another), we are talking about memories not conscienceness. However, that's not to say you couldn't have fun with it. I mean best case scenario, you could take the memories of a woman, swap it with a guy, and each would remember being the other person, but look down and realize they were someone else. Again, this wouldn't be body transfer. It'd be like if I was a guy, and suddenly my memories got swapped with a woman, I'd have all her memories growing up, everything I experienced in her life, knowledge of what I look like, what my body feels like, and then suddenly looking down and realizing I'm not who I am. In other words, it'd be like a reverse sex change (thinking you used to be a woman, but are actually a man now, even though you always have been).

weird al - perform this way officially released
His video is officially released:
http://www.vevo.com/watch/weird-al-yankovic/perform-this-way-parody-of-born-this-way-by-lady-gaga/USZM21100078
I'd sort of like to review it a bit. Obviously this video took a LOT of work. Lots of costume changes, lots of makeup. Even though he's being silly, some of the outfits look really good (and great makeup). Here are some snapshots:
All pretty believable. Then there are parts where you go "Hmm.. he looks a little too good, I question if that's really his body"
Mayyybe that's him
Blurred out, but still looks too wide hips for a guy
Ok yea, I'm not so sure about now
Look at them hips, they'd make shakira jealous.
Even with your intestine hanging out your stomach, still looking like a hot body there Al. So then I managed to snatch this frame:
If you click and zoom on the photo, you can see a somewhat bad photoshop job. The hair is way too far down on his head.. IE they cropped his head on someone else's body for at least some of the shots (I believe some of them were of him in a dress). Does this take anything away from the video? I don't think so, it's still an amazingly well done video, and I applaud him for FINALLY doing drag after all these years.

pregnancy simulator
So I've talked about gadgets that simulate menstrual cycle:
http://tgfictionmania.blogspot.com/2010/06/menstruation-machine.html
And I've seen fat suits and pregnancy vests that simulate weight, but never before have I seen something that simulates a fetus moving around and kicking, which also responds to rubbing of the belly.. and yes, it's meant to give men better understanding of what it's like to be pregnant.
I find this fascinating!

augmented reality shopping one step closer
I blogged about this a while back:
http://tgfictionmania.blogspot.com/2009/06/although-not-exactly-realistic-yet-this.html
It's one step closer. Granted attaching 3d purses to yourself isn't exactly as complicated as mapping new clothing on your body, this is a step in the right direction!

200 followers?!!
Yeesh! I can't believe I have this many people following this blog. Some days (comparing to other blogs), I think I suck. I don't put in nearly the same effort, but maybe my ideas are good.. Or maybe I update JUST enough to not feel overwhelming? whatever I'm doing, I'm glad to have so many people interested in what I do
I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok

transgenders taking a beating
First the incident at mcdonalds, then not longer after a simliar beating at a 7-11?
http://unicornbooty.com/2011/05/7-11-is-the-new-mcdonalds-transgender-woman-beaten-unconscious-at-store
I for one, would not go out in public as a woman unless:
1. I had at least one other person with me, or
2. I had multiple weapons to defend myself. Seriously, I would not dare walk out in public without at least mace and perhaps a tazer. If someone is going to start some shit with me, I'm going to defend myself. I might also consider hiding a spycam somewhere on me (perhaps my purse) to record the incident.
Seriously though, you almost have to go out dressed as a superhero. Say hello to my 16 gauge thick bracelets, how's that feel in your forehead?
