Frontier Channel provides news and commentary about the Great Frontiers of cyberspace, outer space, the ocean, and destinations in between. Frontier Channel covers digital media, planetary science, transhumanism, and emerging technologies like artificial general intelligence (AGI), the Metaverse, nanotechnology, radical life extension, cybernetics, the Technological Singularity, and mind uploading. The site is maintained and edited by Richard Leis, Jr.
History
Since the late 1990s the site has undergone a name change and several redesigns. Frontier Channel was primarily a static HTML news site from 2004 through 2006, with an emphasis on planetary science. I also briefly hosted RADIO Frontier Channel, a podcast. During the summer of 2007, I merged Frontier Channel with my Cybernudism transhumanist blog and migrated to WordPress, a content management system.
By December 28, 2008 various pieces had come together to relaunch Frontier Channel with an improved design, including ads, a donation page, better readability, and a new effort to begin updating old entries with minor fixes, new headers, and their original images (lost during the transition to WordPress.)
In 2009 I plan to retire the use of the Coppermine Photo Gallery software as WordPress continues to make key improvements in media management.
