Today is the beginning of another story. Visual storytelling of some kind or another has been around for centuries, since cavemen were drawing on walls.
The story of Mr. Volatility is going to fill up the cave walls of cyberspace. This story, like the computing cloud, has so many layers, that, at the highest level, it is seen as layerless. Just like The Singularity.
I am broadcasting aboard The Errol Flynn. For now the Volatility Don is signing off. It’s time to celebrate. I leave you with the following.
Why do you think the old stories tell of men who set out on great journeys to impress the gods. Because trying to impress people just isn’t worth the time and effort.

From time to time in the sciences a true genius will emerge. I am not referring here to a genius in technical power–that can be remarkable but sometimes quite superficial. A genius is someone who, like the ancient prophets, has a pipeline to the Godhead. It is a kind of madness, but it is correct.
