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.
