Around the web – May 4, 2008

It’s been a while, so will jump right into it.

Linkfest

• chip-ruby
• SEQanswers.com – Discussion forum for next gen sequencing (was down when I was writing this)
• In perpetual pursuit of context
• Open Metabolomics Data
• EquityEdit is an interesting organization. They edit and translate biomedical manuscripts and the compensation funds small, innovating, global health organizations (with a focus on the developing world, e.g. Nyaya Health). Don’t know too much about them, but the financial model is definitely interesting.
• WIkiPatents
• Interview with Paul Graham
• Subversion & Git
• Stagerat – a site for live music fans
• Data stores and BI

Multimedia & Presentations

• Bio2RDF do SPARQL
• Nodalities becomes a magazine
• Twitlive.tv – Watch out for what Leo is up to
• The stackoverflow podcast. This is a must listen. Can’t wait to see what the site turns out to be

Blogspotting

• Hypebot – A music 2.0 blog

Events

• BioBarCamp or ScienceBarCamp, regardless, there is a strong chance that prior to SciFoo 2008 we will be hosting a gathering of science geeks in the Bay Area

Self Assembly

Not much really. Had fun at Bio-IT World, which is the perfect conference for me, a place where I can combine work with subjects (and hardware) that really get me excited. Someday, Bio-IT World will be a mix of the current Bio-IT, Web 2.0 Expo and Gnomedex; a gathering of minds and industry folk.

I do have my macbook pro now and wishing I hadn’t taken the bad Windows/Dell detour late last year.
