fenni think its quite intersting that we get to see this from both sides: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_Baghdad_DHL_attempted_shootdown_incident http://www.iasa-intl.com/folders/belfast/241103/index.html07:43

kanzurehttp://blog.diybio.org/ has a summary of the diybio event.08:51
fenn" a proposal is currently under review that would make possession of environmental sensing devices a potential criminal offense."  what was the context this was ripped out of?09:07
kanzureno idea, I haven't seen that yet09:11
kanzureI might do a reply, asking for sources/links.09:11
kanzureI was just about to send the diybio group some notes on the do-it-yourself neurochemical fabricator.09:12
kanzure(just a bunch of cells producing neurotransmitters, nothing special)09:12
fennthey link here http://www.10zenmonkeys.com/2007/09/26/art-or-bioterrorism-who-cares/09:15
fenni remember seeing this guy's demo, seemed to be more about educating people what genetic engineering really is09:16
fennit was a traveling museum exhibit where you go and 'make a transgenic lifeform' or something like that09:16
kanzureoh, biobus.org09:30
kanzureDon't know what to do next with the browserhacks.09:34
kanzureI'm also starting to see that the trick is cholinergic enhancement, GABAergic "response rules", and enhanced activity in the medial visual cortex re: [[Sustained attention]]. 09:35

kanzureagain, another case where skdb would be useful12:01
kanzureEverybody's moving too fast and nobody seems to care about automation. Everybody appears to *like* to repeat all of the same damn steps in setting up a lab, everybody seems to *like* not being able to do stuff.12:02
kanzurewhat the hell is wrong with people12:02

kanzurefenn: I was clicking around reading some blogs and found that I was spending too much time eyeing Congress. It's very seductive -- it's as if I *want* to contact a political representative, but at the same time I know that they don't really care. :)12:51
kanzureThat took a while out of my day. Ugh. 14:41
kanzureAnyway, I need some resources on gene vectors and retroviruses or adenoviruses for targetted delivery. Particularly anything about adult human fibroblast extraction protocols and ways to reprogram retrovirus.14:42
* nsh didn't know adenoviruses had been exploited for transgenic purposes17:26
kanzurehttp://heybryan.org/chats/2008-05-28--diy_bioreactors--%23biology.html <-- diy bioreachtors, cloning, expression vectors, plasmids, etc.17:34
nshhrm17:38
nshamorphous vNM, eh17:41
nshmmm17:42
nshhrmmm17:43
nshi wonder if you could fossilise plasmids with the e. coli chromosome and resurrect then later17:44
nsh*within17:44
kanzureYou can freeze them.17:44
nshthat way you don't have to maintain selection pressure to avoid deevolution17:45
nshoverheady17:45
nshi was thinking more like introns17:45
kanzureYou could just preserve the DNA as bits and bytes, and just build the machinery to produce the DNA strands again. The trick is preserving an entire organism, however. That's where the synthetic/artificial cell projects start mushrooming.17:46
* nsh is still dubious that about whether (digital string code) sequence contains all the characteristics of (physical) nucleotide sequence17:48
kanzureLet's experiment. ;-)17:49
nshsure it'd be nice if was like letters in an alphabet, so nice, so convenient, so anthropic, that i wouldn't be at all surprised if it isn't17:49
nshaye17:49
nsh"reality is what you can get away with"17:49
kanzurebooty?17:49
kanzureI mean, loot?17:49

kanzurensh: Last line was 'hm'.18:00
kanzureAlso, dnainternet?18:00
nshDNA: finnish telecoms provider 18:02
nsh+ Jungian synchronicity18:02
nsh[00:52:18] <nsh> i meant in the sense of "what's possible"18:02
nsh[00:52:36] <nsh> analogy of a game and nature as the referee18:02
nsh[00:52:53] <nsh> you don't know the rules exactly, so you keep trying things to narrow them down18:02
nsh[00:53:04] <nsh> science is the evaporation of the impossible18:02
nsh[00:53:54] <nsh> loot is a bonus :-)18:02
nshhave you seen http://partsregistry.org/Main_Page ?18:04
kanzurensh: Yes.21:58
kanzureI have also been talking with Drew Endy about integrating biobricks.org & partsregistry.org & igem.org into skdb.21:58
