Visit to Paradise Visitor Center at Mt. Rainier
Earlier this summer, when my mother was visiting, we visited the Paradise Visitor Center at Mt. Rainier. Not much of the mountain was visible, but it was still quite lovely. And the iPhone 4 makes a great mobile camcorder (although I suck at using it)

Hiking through the woods
This Saturday we decided to tackle the Nook trail, part of a plan to do some serious hiking over the rest of the summer to get yours truly back into a semblance of shape. It is one lovely walk.

There are virtually no historical parallels for a country that is so large and dominant in absolute terms and yet that lags far behind many other countries in terms of per capita income and other indicators of development. There is still a yawning gap in per capita income levels between China and the advanced economies and, even at present growth trajectories, it will take a generation for China to achieve the level of development of advanced economies.Eswar Prasad

Personal Genomics and Molecular Biology
One could imagine, then, at some point in the future, that the hypothetical investigator curious about the positions necessary for the efficient splicing of an exon could order up cell lines from individuals with mutations in each possible regulatory base and assay their effects (or better yet, simply download genome-wide splicing data). Is this far-fetched? Well, consider that the Personal Genome Project is generating cell lines from all of its participants, and that they have already had some success using these lines to study gene regulation. With a few cell lines, this approach is interesting, but with hundreds of thousands it will become enormously powerful.

New music: All that shimmers
All that shimmers by The Dual Nature of Matter
via soundcloud.com
As some folks know, I recently lost a lot of new music I had recorded, some of it among the better work I had written in a while . Alas it happened just a week or so before my Drobo came in (I had stopped automatic backups while I waited for it … go figure). Anyway, this is the first little ditty that I’ve written since. Nothing special at all, just something I wrote up sitting on a couch at home on Saturday evening
