A biohacker talking about the enhancements she's tried to do to herself.
Actually, lepht is Pete Clark <pete....@gmail.com> as far as I can tell.
From what I have seen and read so far, lepht is a masochist and really enjoys cutting himself up. I can't figure out another explanation for why lepht is so content on cutting and blood as much as possible.. implanting battery-powered chips without transduction recharge is ludicrous.
I don't think lepht is a good image for DIY transhumanism.

Not sure where the post is that Bryan is responding to, or who the
heck Pete Clark is, but the person in the Wired article is definitely
a woman.
Definitely worth a read - here's a link to the original article:
http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2010/12/transcending-the-human-diy-style/
"Anonym is a biohacker, a woman who has spent the last several years
learning how to extend her own senses by putting tiny magnets and
other electronic devices under her own skin, allowing her to feel
electromagnetic fields, or — if her latest project works — even
magnetic north.
Since doctors won’t help her, she does it in her own apartment,
sterilizing her equipment (needles, scalpels, vegetable peelers) with
vodka. Good anesthetic is largely impossible to buy, so she screams a
little, and sometimes passes out. But it’s worth it, for what’s on the
other side.
“Bodily health takes a big fuck-off second seat to curiosity,” she
says. “Though it hasn’t really changed my life, it’s just made me more
curious.” "

You're right, it's not Pete.
