"The Singularity is the technological creation of smarter-than-human intelligence."
"Vernor Vinge originally coined the term "Singularity" in observing that, just as our model of physics breaks down when it tries to model the singularity at the center of a black hole, our model of the world breaks down when it tries to model a future that contains entities smarter than human."
Pretty interesting stuff. That site as well as others have a lot of information about the Singularity and its accompanying theories.
Joe, the developer, still goes to Williams -- he said on the mailing list he's doing an independent study on HPFS+ and interoperability this semester.

Namely EphPod in conjunction with either MacDrive or MacOpener. The links can be found in this comment I posted for another iPod story, but it applies more to this one.
EphPod has really come a long way in a short period of time. The listserv runs pretty strong and there is a growing group of people helping this 1 developer find bugs and suggest improvements. There's also a guy trying to get it to work on Linux... help him out.
I have had my iPod working great since February, and it has never touched a Mac.
BTW: There's also a Windows firmware updater. Check the link to my other/. post for the URL. He got it to work with v1.1 within a day or two of its release.. pretty sweet.
On that note, this guy is trying to get the iPod to run on Linux, help him out if you can.
If you have Windows, a free program called EphPod works very will with programs that write to HFS+ disks (such as MacDrive and MacOpener). Progress with EphPod has been speedy, and the developer is very responsive to user suggestions/testing.
Another attempt at providing Windows support - as well as a firmware updater - can be found here. I believe the author intends to port these programs to Linux... we shall see.
