Interview with me, and a really slick UI
The summer 2009 issue of h+ Magazine is out, and there's an interview with yours truly. The reporter, Tyson Anderson, and I had an interesting conversation about the history of biohacking, how I got started with it, the diverse nature of DIYbio, the importance of the amateurs in the history of science, and some of the ethical issues surrounding this hobby.
(Yes, yes,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
enochsmiles, I need to put together a press page for my website. I know.)
But until then, check out that nice interface! They've definitely achieved the look and functionality of a paper magazine (minus being able to dog-ear the pages or scribble notes in the margin), and halle-freakin-lujah, each page is uniquely addressable! There are only two things I can dock them points on. First is the fact that their "share a bookmark" feature is so tightly coupled to a host of social networking services, many of which are walled gardens. (LJ happens not to be one of them. When did we jump the shark, guys?) This is, however, the fault of AddThis, provider of the feature in question; I can extract the URL I want by, say, clicking on the Google Bookmarks link and then copying said URL, but that is kind of a pain. Hey, AddThis, can we have a plain ol' "URL" option? That would be swell, thanks.
Second, not being able to copy and paste text == also a pain. Minus that, though, I could totally get used to reading magazine content online with an interface like this.
