Sad (for me): My wife and baby are going to Taiwan for a month, which means I will be a lonely, lonely boy. Hopefully I will find plenty to do in my lab. Has anyone seen GATTACA?

We're not at the point of instantly identifying a person's DNA and potential ailments, but we can get an insane amount of data about the entire genome of ~100 people over the course of a day or two. Yaping gave her first primary lesson in english today (she now teaches sunbeams). I slept next to Preston last night and the first thing he said to me in the morning was "Daddy go ::SNORE!!::." I think that's about all that's happening at the moment.

Got away!
