"What I really lack is to be clear in my mind what I am to do, not what I am to know, except in so far as a certain knowledge must precede every action. The thing is to understand myself, to see what God really wishes me to do: the thing is to find a truth which is true for me, to find the idea for which I can live and die. … I certainly do not deny that I still recognize an imperative of knowledge and that through it one can work upon men, but it must be taken up into my life, and that is what I now recognize as the most important thing."
Why the hell can I hear a thump when I look at the picture? And no thump when I look away?
Best thing I have seen in a while.
Two sizes of dive slates, as displayed in my shower.
I’ve written before about showering as an ideal model for creative pause—minimal distraction, mental freedom, and a change of scenery. What I haven’t written about is how to capture what comes of the pause. Inspiration is elusive and…
I am so intent on capturing my shower thoughts that I’ll step out of the shower and type down notes on my ipod even with dripping hands. Untill now…

From the New England Journal of Medicine:
The Increasing Complexity of the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology
The flow of genomic information from DNA to RNA to protein remains the basis for understanding genomic function (Panel A).
A single gene can yield an extensive array of gene products, depending on the environment in which it is expressed, thereby expanding the repertoire of the 20,000 or so genes in the human genome (Panel B).
The initial event of gene expression, transcription, is regulated by means of a complex choreography of events involving the three-dimensional DNA structure, covalent chemical, or epigenetic, modifications of the DNA backbone, and interactions between protein and DNA and between RNA and DNA.
Translation is similarly complex and tightly regulated by interactions between messenger RNA (mRNA) and proteins. Processing of single-precursor RNA (preRNA) molecules can yield multiple RNA products, including microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules.
Post-translational modification of proteins also contributes greatly to the diversity of the output of the human genome through modifications of individual immature proteins (e.g., folding, cleavage, and chemical modifications), which yield an array of related protein products.
And lust is too fiery to be left to the pharmacist.
Not everything can be solved by popping a pill.
