Will you live to see the Singularity? While it would be great to live long enough to upload your intelligence into a self-sustaining orbiting satellite, equipped with high-speed internet and a cloaking device, the need to be healthy is relevant in the short term as well (after all, zombies are only getting faster). Learn how living healthy can improve your IQ, give you more energy and help you avoid the diseases that we think come with age by really don't have to. At least come learn what things to avoid doing (as if you didn't already know!)

    HalfJack is a Associate Professor of Information Technology at a State college in Georgia that prefers to remain anonymous. For the past 20 years most of his teaching has resembled 19th century Russian poetry (there's a lot of talk but everybody still freezes to death). Only a smattering of outstanding students and taking summers off has (mostly) preserved his sanity. He believes you can't have too many wheelbarrows and the best piece of advice he ever gave at an con talk was "Don't point the sharp end of the tool towards your body"
