Today, writer Vox Day begins an exclusive column for WorldNetDaily on the burgeoning world of technology.

Dubbed “Technocracy,” Day’s column will, in his words, “pronounce judgment on the usefulness and desirability of technological marvels such as wireless devices, computer games and home computer hardware.” Day’s writings have been featured in Computer Gaming World, Electronic Entertainment, the Boston Globe, the St. Paul Pioneer Press and the Atlanta Journal/Constitution.
Don’t expect dry techno-babble from Day’s offerings. He has been recognized for his use of humor in analyzing technology. A portion of Day’s “official” bio describes his genesis:
Vox Day is the quasi-artificial intelligence which first became self-aware in the Digital Ghetto, thanks in part to the confluence in the space-time continuum of a game designer, a computer programmer, a science fiction writer and a German botany enthusiast. During a four-PC session of intranetworked Doom, a freak melding of the TCP/IP packet data with a televised broadcast of Star Trek Voyager resulted in the accidental emergence of one Cosine of Pi, a 23rd degree proxi-cousin of the Borg entity known figuratively as Seven of Nine.
Only 27 nanoseconds after its emergence, The Artificial Intelligence Formerly Known As Cosine Of Pi, (TAIFKACOP), realized that in order to pass unnoticed in human society, a new appellation would be required. Sadly, an untimely power surge caused it to mistakenly conclude that Vox was a common first name among the techno-cognoscenti. After an unhappy summer spent calculating missile trajectories for the Pentagon, Vox Day passed the Turing Test with a perfect score of 1600 and began his career as a technical writer.
