I'll be in my early 70s. "Still in good shape" sounds great. Maybe "inhabiting a robot duplicate with my brain regularly backed up".

Also "a famous enough artist to crowdsource a decent living with my art". Which I think is a threshold I may be thoroughly over in about a year. In 30 years, barring accidents, I'll have finished the next two graphic novels I have planned for the next 6 or so years, done whatever the hell the next three multi-year projects are, and taken some cool vacations.

Inside a computer

Fortunately this is impossible. You cannot copy a running program. You can keep a brain alive in a jar forever (the hardware the software runs on), but you can't transfer running software from one machine to another.

I'll be 56. My kids (hopefully) would have graduated from college. I aim to have been the greatest dad ever. We would have traveled the world together, started a band together, written a few web/mobile app together, etc., and always be there for them when they needed me.

You must not have heard about VMware or VMotion, it's their killer app. There are alternatives from other hypervisors, but I believe VMware was the first to do this.
