Cord Blomquist / Cord Blomquist spends most of his time pining for the singularity. To pass the time while waiting for this convergence, he serves as the New Media Manager at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University.

All of these activities will, of course, be viewed as laughable when he is ported from this crude meatspace into the nanobot cloud.
