    My 'dream' job would be to be doing something useful in physics (think astrophysics or chasing the singularity through strings and quanta) - but I'm too stupid and too ADHD to spend my life buried in numbers and confusion.

    So, more realistically what I'm aiming for is to have a business with no discrete aims beyond doing useful and interesting things in the world of design and production - making things.. useful things.

    I'd love to be able to take one of the ideas from one of my notebooks and develop, patent and produce it. I don't care about being rich - but I do want to end my life knowing that I've added something of use to the world.

    In darker moods (about 90% of the time) I'd like to follow in Crake's footsteps and create a pathogen that would kill 90% of humankind.

    • Why I got your Crake reference is actually beyond me at the moment.
