To all my biohomies...

I am aswim in ncRNA, miRNA, snoRNA, transposons, introns, exons, and transgenic events. I know now the beauty of ultra-conserved sequences (and how they kept robust against intron invasion), and deny the junk-DNA orthodoxy.

I also see precisely how my research fits into all of it.

Yeah, it was a good afternoon. :)

Why think small?

Just analyze the universe as a whole and be done with it already. I want to know the answer. I'm not buying that whole '42' dodge.

Well I *do* have that idea for a nice programming model for quantum computing that leverages the superposition of states not just for data, but for type information as well to give a superpositional polymorphism... does that help? :)

Heh. If you leverage it in that way don't you get Heisenberged out of one in trying to get the other? Or is there a way to spin it that avoids that? (sorry. well, not really.)

I was thinking more about projective spaces, compression, and entropy, actually. But I'm really more of a classical mathematician at heart, so what do you expect? :)
