To get myself in the mindset for Bio Con, I summarised a week's activity on the BioPerl mailing list last night. I plan to do this for as long as I can. I can understand about half of what I read, which I figure isn't too bad given that I specialize in only half of bioinformatics (the computer half). It sure is good to read a list where Lincoln Stein posts--it's like reading your shopping list and finding notes from Einstein in the margins.

My favorite line from your summary is great fodder for Schwern's
Joy spread through the world like the smell of pot at a Grateful Dead concert.
