Thanks M, for S100's very last SI post. Cyberspace is a peculiar medium. Words live on, people are real if disembodied and distant. Friends or ephemeral contacts from all around the world can link up, synchronicitously, in concatenated wave functions of knowledge, thought and emotion in an analogue of neurons connecting through trillions of different pathways to form a global brain.

S100 was instrumental in creating what I believe will be the most amazing transition in biological history, the most important transition since carbon first started twisting around on itself in a double helix. The formation of nerve cells, perception, memory and thinking was pretty good too. Language was helpful to those brains too. But what's coming is very, very big deal.

We can't stay and see everything happen, but imagination is not bad. Getting there is half the fun. I'm glad to have been accompanied on the journey by S100 and hordes of other SIers [Siers? - a new cyberspace religion to add to the Middle East maelstrom] and other cyberspace fellow travellers. While you are still alive and can read this, thanks too to you all.

In memory of S100, I shall henceforth refer to SIers as Siers. A quick Google search suggests no problem with that word. Siers are cyberspace seers! In fact, here is a chess concept, which seems to resonate nicely in the battle between good and evil, mind and matter "the Siers battery" - discovered check on GSM results in checkmate of the black hagfish king: chathurangam.com
Also, Judy Siers seems okay, being from the Wellington [NZ] University of Life: chathurangam.com
Kevin Siers, a cartoonist, on life: edivu.com
Here is Miriam Siers doing good stuff with magnetic resonance imaging: isi.uu.nl
Pieter Siers, who is a mobile phone guy who worked on integrating phones and internet in WAP: q-go.com
The Siers didn't smile for the camera in the 19th century, but their mouths match each other: rootsweb.com
Gordon Siers, the chemical engineer brewer: probrewer.com
Life goes on, born at the dawn of the 21st century, Cooper Charles Siers: hometown.aol.com

S100 is the first person I have known via cyberspace who has died. There was another Sier who died in the WTC attack. I suppose there have been others of the 100s of 1000s who have been passed through the Sier portal.

Goodbye to Sier S100 who joined in 1999.
