TED Talks
Can we create new life out of our digital universe?" asks Craig Venter. And his answer is, yes, and pretty soon. He walks the TED2008 audience through his latest research into "fourth-generation fuels" -- biologically created fuels with CO2 as their feedstock. His talk covers the details of creating brand-new chromosomes using digital technology, the reasons why we would want to do this, and the bioethics of synthetic life. A fascinating Q&A with TED's Chris Anderson follows (two words: suicide genes).

Videos, Video/Audio Widgets
In this area of my blog you will find videos of interest to me, and something called a "widget". The first widget is an amalgum of video rss feeds which I also find interesting. The other widget is primarily an Audio widget, even though there are a few vids to be had as well from time to time. You may scroll left or right on the menu at the top of the widgets to change the channel. The Audio widget has a "play/stop" control that you can use to, well...play and stop the audio feed after you've chosen one.
Feel free to leave me some love and any comments you may have. Enjoy!
