The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls.
75 and sunny today. More of this please, Houston.
Houston should do reverse DST. In summer, morning is the only cool time. Now, the temp is great, but too dark after work to enjoy it. Boo.
Remember, remember the 5th of November the gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot

Schneier on Security: Zero-Tolerance Policies - http://www.schneier.com/blog...
"So that's the choice. Either we want the rules enforced fairly across the board, which means limiting the discretion of the enforcers at the scene at the time, or we want a more nuanced response to whatever the situation is, which means we give those involved in the situation more discretion." - Chris Miller
Totally spoiled by our clusters. How in the hell did people get anything done without 200 processors to throw at the problem?
I enjoyed this evisceration of Ayn Rand and her shitty novels. You might like it too. http://www.slate.com/id...
Will be presenting my poster today at #cshlgi Stop by and take a look if you're here.
@girlscientist I suppose I'm in the camp that feels like the dangers of getting scooped are overhyped.
@girlscientist I mean, the people in the best position to scoop you are generally in the audience anyway, right?
Deanna Church: Need perfect sequence for clinical applications - can't explain error probabilities to patients #cshlgi
Live demo of PlasmoDB - daring, but seems to be going well. #cshlgi
Paul Thomas - propagating GO annotations back up phylogenetic trees to MCA to infer annotations for diverged species. Nice talk #cshlgi
I've got a few google wave invites up for grabs - let me know if you need one.
@battmutler what's your gmail address?
Church - instead of monolithic ref sequences frequently, NCBI may start releasing patches that fix sp regions - makes sense to me. #cshlgi
Reference to "Noodly appendage(s)" on title slide clearly a reference to the flying spaghetti monster. I like this talk already. #cshlgi
Annoyed - twitter updates from >1hr ago haven't propagated to FF yet.
@girlscientist take it up with CSHL - bad policy, IMO. Hoping someday an intro slide granting permission to reblog will be standard #cshlgi
I put up a slide at the beginning of the talk I gave yesterday and didn't comment on it at all. Got some extremely strange looks though. - Cameron Neylon
All was not lost - two presenters gave permission tonight, starting with Paul Thomas. Good to see that at least some folks are aware of and okay with live-blogging - Chris Miller
Epigenomics and expression this morning at #cshlgi
Nice talk by Brudno. I'm allowed to say that much, right? #cshlgi
yeah - CSHL's policy changed after genome biology, according to Daniel MacArthur http://scienceblogs.com/genetic... #cshlgi
@tharris IIRC, CSHL's policy is no distribution without permission of presenters. So have to ask individuals after their talks #cshlgi
@michaelhoffman You're grouse on Mefi right? And at CSHL? I'll have to be sure to say hi at some point. #chslgi
On my way to CSHL for Genome Informatics conference #info09
