If you're interested in becoming one with your computer, the blog Free Geekery offers some tongue-in-cheek handy tips, such as implanting an RFID (Radio Frequency ID) chip or becoming a human transformer by attaching a Fabric patch developed by engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to help you find your misplaced car keys or TV remote control.

Even if you live on a limited budget, you can try a few of the following ideas on for size. Who knows? You might decide that you enjoy being less human and more resistant to all the limitations that the flesh endures."
