Anyone at ISMB have a ticket to the Vasa dinner that they won't be using? My wife decided she might like to go (despite having to hang out with a bunch of scientists... ;) )

There must be a personal finance software that's better than Quicken, right?

An experiment in outsourcing science (and a potential subcontract opportunity) - http://biogps.blogspot.com/2009... (via http://friendfeed.com/asu...)
Interesting idea. Never heard of anyone paying someone to work on Wikipedia pages before. :-) - Bill Hooker
Well, that happens all the time between global companies and PR agencies! - Enro
Andrew, I think I've already asked this, but wouldn't be easier to populate www.freebase.com instead of wikipedia ? - Pierre

Any suggestions on an intro to bioinformatics book for a programmer looking to get into the field?
scheduling a major upgrade to era commons three days before a major ARRA grant deadline seems like a bad idea... http://grants.nih.gov/grants.... Amazing they can't even get a maintenance page up... https://commons.era.nih.gov/commons
"This Memorial Day I would like to share with you a personal project of mine that uses Google Earth to honor the more than 5,700 American and Coalition servicemen and women that have lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. I have created a map for Google Earth that will connect you with each of their stories—you can see photos, learn about how they died, visit memorial websites with comments from friends and families, and explore the places they called home and where they died." - Andrew Su
migrating from endnote / pdf folder to mendeley today...
imported folder of 122 PDFs, looks like it got about half unambiguously... - Andrew Su
... wait, just noticed all of Pierre's activity with zotero... hmmm... - Andrew Su
Pierre gives everything ago. Always looking for the next thing to hack :) - Ricardo Vidal
Do you notice any trends to the ones it didn't get? I've found it does much better with newer papers. - Mr. Gunn
@Mr. Gunn, only done a few so far, but science magazine is clearly a problem since they continuously flow from one article to another. so page 1 contains the references from the previous articles. I'll try to look for other trends too. So far, it hasn't been too difficult to google the title, copy-and-paste the pmid, and then hit "lookup"... - Andrew Su
PNAS seems to be a difficult journal too... and letters to the editor - Andrew Su
yeah, but with PNAS you have a DOI so you can easily populate the info from that - Mr. Gunn
mendeley bookmarklet is fantastic... word plugin also fixed in the latest release (word 2007, vista 64). Nice... - Andrew Su
I'm glad it's working well for you. Can I ask a favor? Would you be able to forward the details about my Social Media for Scientists workshop to the SDBDG? The info is here, and there's a PDF flyer as well. - Mr. Gunn
to SDCSB, you mean? I'm not sure we have an active mailing list, but I can check. Maybe we can post it on the events section of sdcsb.org. can you send the link again (didn't show for me in your comment...) - Andrew Su
Whoops, yes, that's what I meant. Acronym soup doesn't taste so good. Yes, I would appreciate that. The link is http://sdbn.org/may - Mr. Gunn

sure wish they were coming to San Diego... - Andrew Su
I have a preference to support open access when choosing where to submit, but that preference does not overrule having to deal with a bad editor...

I just paid $100 for the privilege of *not* taking the outgoing leg of a RT flight. Airline rules only serve to baffle and aggravate...
I'm looking for a review paper or two summarizing the current state of semantic web technologies in biology. Suggestions?
Want to write one with me, Andrew? - Mr. Gunn
Well, I was _hoping_ (and a bit expecting) that many would have written such a review already. But if there's a real lack of a review in this area, then I'd think about it. I'm going to be doing some literature searching today (aided by others' suggestions?) so I should have a better feeling soon... - Andrew Su
thought i saw something in EMBO Reports - Christina Pikas
Andrew - I don't know of a good single review. If you find something, hope you post it here. - Michael Nielsen
Not a review, but this newish blog might be a great place to start for info: http://network.nature.com/people... James Hendler is the person you should ask. - Noah Gray
Maybe? Goble, C. and Stevens, R. 2008. State of the nation in data integration for bioinformatics. J. of Biomedical Informatics 41, 5 (Oct. 2008), 687-693. DOI= http://dx.doi.org/10... - carolh
Whole issue: Briefings in Bioinformatics issue: Special Issue: Semantic Web for Health Care and Life Sciences: A Review of the State of the Art - carolh
@carolh, perfect, that issue is great... I'd already printed out three of them, but had yet to put it together that it was a special issue... (doh!) thanks much... - Andrew Su

Scholarly community gives feedback regarding Wikipedia -- http://blog.wikimedia.org/2009...
"71.03% of respondents supported some form of hyperlinks from open access publications to Wikipedia, and 91.51% supported links from Wikipedia to open access publications. 67.93% of respondents indicated support for large scale efforts to invite scientists to become Wikipedia contributors, and 24.73% indicated support for limited experiments. 81.82% responded they would participate in such an effort to improve Wikipedia, with roughly half of the respondents indicating they would only do so as part of their professional work." - Andrew Su
