The South African Business Day has the scoop, or see our weblog. The event is co-sponsored by my employer and O'Reilly. I'm typing this from the hackathon, and you wouldn't believe the buzz... or the scenic venue!"

If they were serious they would have biohacked some cyborgs to do all the future biohacking for them. Then they could just sleep, eat, sleep, eat, etc.

The title makes it sound like either some place where you splice various animal body parts onto other animals (sign me up for a few extra arms and a pair of wings) or perhaps a real life version of a certain FP Shooter (VRROOOMMM chainsaw, is it still a shooter if you only use a chainsaw???).
