A Standing Challenge

About 6 months ago I read a Lifehacker article that advocated standing at your office desk to stay healthier. I thought it was a neat idea at the time but didn’t try very hard to make it happen. Then Lifehacker again linked to an article in the NY Times about standing at work, and this time I decided to do something about it.

My Wife — a _______ Story

As I hit publish on my last silly post, I realised I could use the same template for a number of things. Namely:

My wife is _______. She _____________ _______. When I _______ and it dawned on me ________, I wanted to marry her all over again.

Thus:

My wife is amazing. She carried and gave birth to my daughter Amelynne. When I first saw my little girl and it dawned on me that I now have my own clone, I wanted to marry her all over again.

See how that works?

My Wife — a Love Story.

My wife is magical. She made me home-toasted muesli yesterday. When I ate breakfast this morning and it dawned on me that I have maple syrup in my breakfast cereal, I wanted to marry her all over again.

Intermission

One of the staff asked me for a copy of this (somehow) for his home theatre setup. I’m not sure what I’ve got for him will be good enough, but it looks good on Youtube.

A couple of Batman pics to cheer me up

This was a sign used in the Singapore Design Festival 2007, that has somehow made it’s way out into the wild. We need more zones like this marked around Adelaide. Draken413o took this very artistic shot of it.

The next was an entry in a Worth 1000 contest to inject superheroes into well known works of art. I love it.

Waves, headaches, sleep

I have been pretty tired lately. My bubby girl has not been sleeping well overnight for weeks, and as a result I’m not getting as much sleep as I’d like myself. In addition, I get headaches whenever I try and concentrate, which I had been putting down to tiredness, but might actually be the fault of my new glasses prescription, so I’m seeing my optometrist on Friday to sort something out, and hopefully that will clear my headaches up a little.

Despite this, I’ve created a site called First Waves to post the latest news about Google Wave and the Wave Protocol. I was updating pretty frequently until this week when the headaches got too much for me, and I couldn’t think straight to pull it all together.

I’ll get into updating it again ASAP, but I’d be encouraged if anyone reading this wanted to check it out and leave a comment or whatnot. I’ll be migrating it to Wordpress in the near future too, and enhancing it with some more information about me, and some links to essential Wave resources.

That’s my update. Thank you for listening.

Bioinformatics on Aardvark

Can any aadvark molecular biologists help me to to find a primer-primer interactions detection software, I think I have to deal with several probes annealing together in a multiplex assay but I cannot solve it ? An Aardvark Question on *Bioinformatics*

What the hell does that even mean?! I complained on twitter that I was getting silly Aardvark questions. I think they’re getting me back by ratcheting up the difficulty a notch.
