How sad is this? The closest WiFi hot spot to my KY home is 2 hours away, in Lexington. And according to 802.11 Planet, there are zero WiFi public access points in WV. (I don't really believe that; I have to believe there are WLANs set up at Marshall or WVU). 8:42:09 AM

Venter gets go-ahead to build lifeform [New Scientist]  Here we go. [John Robb's Radio Weblog] I'm the last guy in the world to be labelled a technophobe, but this strikes me as a really, really bad idea. Talk about Pandora's Box! There are so many ways this can go wrong, I don't know where to start. The only place this should be done is on the moon or in an orbiting habitat. At least there if (when?) things go bad, the biosphere that's contaminated can be contained. 8:14:25 AM
