Did you know? Accelerating Future is not just this blog where I rant about futuristic topics, it is a domain… a domain of several interesting blogs and sites. Blogs written by my friends Tom, Steven, and Jeriaska. Also, there’s the Accelerating Future People Database, put together by Jeriaska, and a small database of papers by the intellectual powerhouse known as Michael Vassar. Other interesting things are in the works, as always, and if you want to accelerate their fruition, don’t hesitate to donate by clicking the little bit of text under where it says “support” in the sidebar.

Particularly, in recent months we’ve seen a lot of postings by Jeriaska at the Future Current blog, including transcripts of many talks at the Global Catastrophic Risks Conference, AGI-08, Aging 2008, you name it. On the sidebar there are also links to videos of all these events. I can say with some authority that the significance of these gatherings to the future of humanity probably exceeds that of the Academy Awards, or even the MTV Music Awards. The Future Current blog was linked by Bruce Sterling over at WIRED the other day, congrats!
