Update

Uh, yeah, I've been busy, if the +3 month space between posts didn't tip you off. I have a fairly amusing series of posts on politics, as well as a rant on Craig Venter, and why I want to bear his children. They're all below. I'd love to give you something better, but the lab is working on a grant right now, and I haven't been keeping up with such luxury activities as sleep and nourishment.

Quick update:

Professional: Job Rocks. I'm surprised I don't have to pay tuition. Post-docs are cool as hell, smarter then I dared hope, and in a group photo would look like an abbriviated meeting of the UN. Boss is still a little crazy, has us working nonstop, throws around ideas like they're candy and he wants to give us all diabetes and honestly, I couldn't be happier. He reminds me slightly of what I might want to be some day.

Other: Voted for Obama. Immediately wanted to vote for Clinton. Then realized that I also wanted to vote for Obama. Left booth feeling confused. Later, I realized that either way, we'd get a great president. This realization immediately led to a return to utter confusion.
