hpluscf We knew life’s going to get twisted when R.U. Sirius re-entered the atmosphere. Ken “R.U. Sirius” Goffman, editor for iconic cyberculture magazine Mondo 2000, mastermind for 10 Zen Monkeys, columnist for Wired and the author of several hundred articles on subcultural issues (and author of The Real Cyberpunk Fakebook) released the first issue for his science/cyberpunk/transhumanist PDF magazine H+ in October, giving us a glimpse into the future of bodyhack.

Re-wired his brain with a few years of FastTracker, hosted radio shows on the first .hu netradio for 4 years, went on to broadcast radio for another two. Worked on the absurd radio series Kónuszék, that actually led him to become a script writer for the multiple-award winning, New York Times-acclaimed animation Nyócker.

Started LD50 in 2001, a media experiment for him, an alternative community portal for everybody else. Did DJ'ing and promoting for 6 years @ Budapest: the first weekly gothic/industrial clubnights in Bp, the VK/jrock nights Nippon Shoxx and the biggest local industrial/cyber party series called Kollektíva, among many. Spent 2 1/2 years as an IT/science journalist at hvg.hu.

He's chief editor for THE DOSE, an alternative popcultural PDF mag, co-editor for Mondo, a very glossy mag with a focus on Japan and pop culture and he's also working on projects to be unveiled in 2010 and 2011. Has insatiable love for weird stuff, Asian cuisine, pop culture, energy drinks, coffee, eyecandy, Japan, anything with a Scoville rate or a frequency and a life-long devotion to all things on the edge.
