Interview with me, and a really slick UI

[maradydd]

The summer 2009 issue of h+ Magazine is out, and there's an interview with yours truly. The reporter, Tyson Anderson, and I had an interesting conversation about the history of biohacking, how I got started with it, the diverse nature of DIYbio, the importance of the amateurs in the history of science, and some of the ethical issues surrounding

Nice interface, but sadly a bit too sluggish to be really usable on this 1.5GHz machine. I'm sure it'd be fine from my shiny new university machine, though I pay for data volume there.

Having working with a couple of flipbook-style Flash apps when I was doing web development, that really does raise the bar on presenting web content in book format, though.

Srsly? It's quite zippy on an Eee 1000HE, and that's only a 1.66GHz box.

Yarly. But then it's an Athlon XP1800 that's about five years old, so your Atom processor's probably wringing a lot more performance out of those clock cycles. For example, here it takes around two seconds for the page-turn animation to complete, and that happens jerkily.

Looks like you have to disable Flashblock, or you get the functionality of a magazine that's had all of its pages glued together. :(

But go you for getting cool media exposure!

I am no less impressed knowing it's both of yours, and I guess I now understand how you know so much about miraculin. I feel like my understanding of things has such a long way to go, talking to you guys.

I think emailing the editor and the writer is a really good idea. You'll very likely get a correction and an apology.
