Synthetic Genomics

British Petroleum and Synthetic Genomics extracted DNA from such oil-containing geologic formations (biological organisms living in crude oil) and applied to them by DNA sequencing. They took DNA from the cells of microbes living in underground reservoirs of oil, like bacteria or viruses, and then began to develop them in a lab environment to identify the chemical and genetic properties.

Wow (random rambles)

It’s been forever and a half (and another half) since I wrote on this joint. What inspired me to get back on here are just random things that pop into my head that I probably really should put down on paper (or net). Whatever. Anyway, I’ve been reading a lot of Manrepeller’s writing (http://www.manrepeller.com/) and she just fucking kills just about everything. She is hilarious. She is the blogwriter that I’ve always dreamed of having the guts to be (or more like the patience to write as hilarious as she does).

Appendicitis, appendectomy came and went. IT was singlehandedly the most horrible health crisis I’ve had to date. Therefore, that being said I was determined to make it my last for awhile. So I’ve stopped smoking which I not only directly attribute my healthier well-being (hmmm redundant) to but as well as my bulging pocketbook (not really but I do have a few more bucks here and there).

I haven’t decided yet if I should continue to make this my fashionblog or just randomly post brain flatulence.
