On holiday

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

On holiday down south for a couple of weeks. Next year should be less busy than this year so I’ll have more time to pay attention to the blog (I hope).

Have a good Christmas.

Back from Christchurch

Monday, December 7th, 2009

Quick visit to Christchurch for an ICBC meeting. Main item on the agenda was discussion of the following:

ERMA200223 – Application to develop in containment genetically modified goats, sheep and cows to produce human therapeutic proteins, or with altered levels of endogenous proteins for the study of gene function, milk composition and disease resistance

You can find all the relevant documents (which are all quite an interesting read) at the ERMA web site here (scroll down to ERMA200223).

This looks like a really interesting interactive site looking at the history of the Royal Society. See Trailblazing – Royal Society.

Virtual miscellania

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

So it seems that the situation posited in William Gibson’s book "Idoru" back in 1997 comes to pass in some form in 2009. See Man marries virtual girlfriend | Stuff.co.nz.

And this is interesting too – Church fined for blocking cellphones | Stuff.co.nz.
