How My Life is Cool

[ase]

I get to read the brand new, out-this-week sea urchin genome article for class. Life is awesome.

Not awesome: slow download speeds. A pox on dad's ISP.

Random science websites for the evening:
1.) The Codon Usage Database, which answers that burning question, "how often is GUG used in the Arabidopsis thaliana mitochondrial codon scheme?"
2.) PubMatrix: enhancing the PubMed search experience. If you spend a lot of time thrashing through the PubMed stacks, it might be a useful tool.
3.) Compound solutions: doing the math so you don't have to.

I need to stop spending Friday evenings on academics, but honestly, I sort of like it. It's a lousy time to do homework, but it's a great time to catch up (or even get ahead) on textbook reading.

I was very disappointed when I opened that link and discovered that it would only do my math for some very specific (and abstruse) value of "math." I was looking for something along the lines of a universal calculator. You need to be more careful with your tag lines...

Hope 'Cryptonomicon' is going ok. It's an odd format, to have two different story lines that _both_ meander; like parallel braided rivers. You've got to be in a particular mind-set to enjoy them. I keep meaning to re-read Stephenson, but I never seem to have the _time_ these days to get my brain in the proper frame of reference. ;-)

Anyhow: have fun with your catch-up!

No! No! It's already got a pox. BLESSINGS on dad's ISP! Blessings.
