slagging off biochemists
Heh. Check out this Nodalpoint article. 8^)=

Well, I thought it was funny.

be prepared
The always-useful Reg has some guidelines covering Federal search and seizure of computer equipment. Nothing too startling -- don't consent to warrent-less searches, encrypt everything (especially if you share a computer with other people), and remove any naughty bits (or bits that might look naughty) before you send it out to the repair shop.

Nice article on thinking creatively. I need to work on developing some of those habits...

O'Reilly is has a bioinformatics book coming out soon. I'm not thrilled with the cover animal choice 8^)=, but I am pretty excited about getting my hands on this one. If anybody from ORA happens to be reading this, I'd be happy to provide technical proofing or peer review for this volume.
