Short notice, I know, but this morning at 9am PST/noon EST, Mackenzie Cowell (founder of diybio.org) and I will be on a talk radio program, The Food Chain, discussing the emergent biohacking movement and its possible effects on food. You can listen in on a number of AM radio stations, or over the Internet, and the audio will be available as a podcast later.

Come join in the discussion!

ETA: Well, that went reasonably well -- I was a little startled at first to find out that the station was a FOX News affiliate, but no one called for our heads on platters or anything. I'll post a link to the podcast when it's up, and y'all can listen to Mac sound extremely intelligent and level-headed, Sandra Porter being cautiously enthusiastic, and me waxing far too rhapsodic about molecular computing and epigenetics. ;) Some day I'll remember not to get carried away...

WTF?!?

If you're not watching the live CodeCon stream, you just missed [livejournal.com profile] zooko hack a laptop to pieces with [livejournal.com profile] yoctohedron's axe.

Yes, really. It was a little bit hard to tell exactly what happened in the 320x240 window, and the sound was off, but apparently [livejournal.com profile] zooko now owes [livejournal.com profile] yoctohedron a new axe.

I think this might actually beat out "isolating DNA with common household items" as most surprising CodeCon demo ever. I note also that [livejournal.com profile] yoctohedron had a support role in both...
