... so hot that the cable on my laptop's AC adapter MELTED. (If any of you is expecting an email from me - this would explain the delay.)
Last night I was typing a summary of the recent rasiRNA/piRNA papers (while playing scorched3D) when my computer switches to battery mode. At that point my wife asks me "do you smell burning plastic?"
(Maybe I can blame that on scorched - a ridiculous game that my brother and I used to play about 15 years ago - little tanks lobing missiles at each other while uttering insults and bizarre quotes - "I love the smell of napalm in the morning". I guess some people missed the game so much that they resurrected it and it is now available free.)
HI Alex,
Thought this little Perspectives article on evolution "Darwin for All Seasons" by Eörs Szathmáry might be interesting?

Cheers, JenLi
Napalm is not cool. After your anti-neocon rant, I'm surprised. (It's time for me to go home and play Doom ... )
Thanks Jen I'll have to take a look at it (PS sorry I haven't emailed back - but we'll be here in Boston that weekend and it would be great to get together).
I'm using our almost-dead desktop. Tomorrow I'll try to get through my emails ...
