The US has approved CRISPR pigs for food | MIT Technology Review



Ok, so we are now eating gene-manipulated food. How do you feel about it? Are you going to stop eating  your favorite burger/steak/sausage? Will you grow a third ear OR will not get sick from salmonella or e-coli anymore? Do me a favor - think about this for a minute!

Thoughts on ‘Connected-ness’

Thought about some statement that friends made about being online often isolates someone from the ‘real’ world. My experience is the opposite. I have never been as connected as I am now, where I talk to a lot of people in person, as well as online. For example, I re-connected with people from Germany, old friends and working colleagues, who otherwise would not run into me in person. Used appropriately and with caution, being connected can be a wonderful help in establishing, keeping and/or re-establishing human connection.

Life's Lessosn Learned of Today: How to delete a 'obnoxiously' re-appearing TV Show from iTunes

I happen to be a recent owner of an iPod Touch 4G. This is a longer story and going to be a different post. One of the things I do is to subscribe to free content on iTunes. I subscribed to a free pilot show, watched it and then deleted it from the iTunes list of TV shows. To my surprise, it reappeared uploaded from the iPod again. Since there is no command to delete it from the iPod directly, I was at a loss. Now i tried the following - delete it from iTunes, then sync, and when it warns you that non-sync content will be deleted from the iPod, say yes (!). Make sure you synced before, deleted the show again, and the only thing different is the one show. That will get rid of it. Gee, could be easier, couldn't it ?

2nd day of training

Image by Paul Morgan via Flickr Monday, 4/27/9 Running with the group at work for a 5 mile along the Lakeshore. I am caught off guard on how humid it is and end up huffing and puffing and walking the last 1/2 mile back to the office. Lesson learned – i have to adjust my speed based on weather conditions, and drink more water when the temperature is higher.
