The plan is to convert a DNA sequence – the order of the four chemicals that form the genetic code of a plant or animal – into a piece of digitally encoded music that can then be copyrighted like any other tune.
Talk about a gestation period; it only took nine months, but I finally got my new Bookstore Clerk! That's a typical government timeframe. She's just out of film school, and I guess the pickings are slim. I told her I know someone who'll hire her, as soon as he gets a job. (Just kidding; no way I'm letting her go.) Now maybe I'll actually be able to take a vacation…
Do As We Say, Not As We Do
In Mexico, George W. introduced "Millennium Challenge Grants," foreign aid available to developing countries that "end corruption, reform their economies and help their own people," in the Washington Post's words.

Czech Republic Enacts World's First National Light Pollution Law
In the Bay Area, a new breed of restaurant is on the rise: places that are devoted entirely to serving small portions of serious food. The cooking styles are all over the map — Italian, French, Greek, Southwestern, Hawaiian, Asian — often on the same menu. Eating from everyone else's plate is not just acceptable, it's required. You can order half of a petit "rack" of lamb at Isa in San Francisco. Or the "taco" of ahi tartare in a crisp little potato shell and a side of curly polenta fries at Andalu. The restaurants even have their own miniature cut of steak — called the flatiron, it's about the size of half a chicken breast.

if you're in the neighborhood, Central Buffet, on Centre street between Howard and Hester (right above canal) is an amazing deal. You pay four dollars, you get a plate with a bunch of rice on it, you get to choose four dishes from long steamtables filled with huge heaps of maybe 40 different things -- roasted meat, noodles, 4 kinds of tofu, deepfried whole fish (very popular), chicken, weird chinese jello stuff, tons of greens and vegetables -- overwhelming assortment. And it's all pretty good! Not Grand Sichuan, but all for sure tasty. And then there's the soup, which sucks, but hey, four dishes and soup for four dollars? You GOT to love it.
Further Proof That I'm Totally Out of It
A NY Post rundown of galleries beyond Chelsea and Soho includes this:
The place is exactly one block from where I live, but I was completely unaware of it. (Well, it is on the other side of the street.) Good description of the neighborhood though…
A NY Post rundown of galleries beyond Chelsea and Soho includes this:
Further north, in Greenpoint, you'll find the Dabora Gallery (1080 Manhattan Ave. between Eagle and Dupont streets; [718] 609-9629). The gallery scores major Goth points with its Victorian-parlor aesthetic - low lighting, dark wood and red velvet to spare. Dabora is currently showing Christina Dallas' "Examination Rooms," an installation of childhood spaces featuring photographs, illustrations and dolls. Bring the kids, because the show's closing reception on March 24 will feature the additional talents of Marco, a magician and sleight-of-hand artist. Bring your MetroCard, too. Dabora is something of an oasis on its gritty stretch of Manhattan Avenue and, unless you live in the neighborhood, the most interesting local attraction might be the nearest subway stop.
