Challenges in the Gra-zone (gray zone)

In building this blog, I've discovered that one of the more delightfully problematic aspects is deciding which category-tab to appropriately place posts under.

For instance, does the post on a man showing off his amazing mind-controlled bionic hand go under "Medicine & Health", "Body Augmentation", "Robotics", "Gadgets & Gizmos" - or, considering the possibly significant future implications of easy-to-use and upgradable replacement body parts- even "Society & Culture" ??

It's precicely this cross-over; that tension and play in the gray zone between tech and art, science and nature- that so intrigues me and keeps me coming back to hunt up new exciting, interesting, weird, amusing, world-shaking or just plain quirky new material for posts.

Enjoy!
