"Lamest response ever to 'Let's toss for the crux pitch?': 'I don't have a coin'."
- Martin Carpenter
It reminded me of some the subjects that I learned in my course at IIMAS back in September. I still have some little pending project…
Education in bioinformatics has undergone a sea change, from informal workshops and training courses to structured certificate, diploma, and degree programs-spanning casual self-enriching courses all the way to doctorate programs. The evolution of curriculum, instructional methodologies, and initiatives supporting the dissemination of bioinformatics is presented here…

Aspiring rock gods can at last create their own guitar solos – without ever having to pick up a real instrument, thanks to a group of Finnish computer science students.The Virtual Air Guitar project, developed at the Helsinki University of Technology, adds genuine electric guitar sounds to the passionately played air guitar.
Using a computer to monitor the hand movements of a “player”, the system adds riffs and licks to match frantic mid-air finger work. By responding instantly to a wide variety of gestures it promises to turn even the least musically gifted air guitarist to a virtual fret board virtuoso…
We returned to Tepozotlán and managed to climb some routes that we haven’t tried before. I believe that the routes must be in the 5.11 range, they are really aerial and with interesting moves at their finish.
We were the only climbers at the crag, so it was a very calm and enjoyable day… 
Cappuccino & mate,
ham & cheese sandwich,
eyes & tears,
trees & flowers,
suns & moons,
eclipsed poetry & prose.
An unexpected friday night…

A dense bed of light-sensitive bacteria has been developed as a unique kind of photographic film. Although it takes 4 hours to take a picture and only works in red light, it also delivers extremely high resolution.The “living camera” uses light to switch on genes in a genetically modified bacterium that then cause an image-recording chemical to darken. The bacteria are tiny, allowing the sensor to deliver a resolution of 100 megapixels per square inch…
It was a total distance of 17 km and my time for the link-up was around 1 hour 30 minutes.
Too bad that I went alone…
Even if you aren’t familiar with bioinformatics, molecular biology and/or computer science old methods, you’ll find it very interesting and nostalgic.
Prompted by possible biothreats, proteomics explores both sides of the host-pathogen interactionPotential perils from bioterrorism to bird flu are increasingly pushing proteomics researchers to identify molecules involved in the infection process. Often stymied in characterizing all the proteins of a single organism, investigators must now contend with the complexities inherent in characterizing two intertwined, antagonistic organisms: host and pathogen…

I hope to keep this thing up to date...
Have a nice day! :)
