    Or some other contact info. For those who don't want to get spammed when you put
    it on a web page the address can be mungled using HTML-entities.

    Aha, you finally discovered that I'm actually doing nothing useful
    at all? :-)

    Here is my version:

    Name: Anders

    E-mail: asa@nada.kth.se

    Activities: Transhumanist debate, analysis and writing. The main
    directions are 1) future neuropsychology and intelligence
    amplification technology, 2) the ethics and politics of human
    enhancement and 3) popular science and public debate about the
    transhumanist vision.

    Maintains the Anders Transhuman website (http://www.aleph.se/Trans),
    and the Extropians list visualisation
    (http://akira.nada.kth.se/~asa/Extropians/extropians.html). List
    maintainer of the Swedish transhumanist mailing list Omega
    (http://listadmin.mrfriday.com/mailman/listinfo/omega).

    How to Help: Website is in need of maintenance and upgrading into a
    more flexible form (database driven?). Glad for suggestions/requests
    of papers.
