Stem cells can "humanize" animal organs

Stem cells can "humanize" animal organs 12/17/2003 03:38 PM
"Organ humanizing" is the process of injecting your stem cells into an animal foetus, so that when it is born, its organs' cells will be similar enough to your own that they can be used for spare parts.

The human cells must be injected around halfway through gestation - before the fetus's immune system has learned the difference between its own and foreign cells, so that the animal does not reject them, but after the body plan has formed.

That ensures that the resulting animals look like normal sheep rather than strange hybrids like the "geep", created by fusing the embryos of a sheep and goat.

The clock is a fun thing to have on your desktop if you're trying to brush up on your binary, and really, who isn't? Even though it's just a clock, there is still some nice customization available here. You can get rid of the window border, change the size, have it always stay on top, and even change the display to something like hex or Roman numerals. However, it would be nice if you could customize the color and font of the clock a little more. If you want to customize the program yourself, download the source code from the Web site. For your information, the help file is also a separate download on the site.

After reading a forum post yesterday inquiring about DSL vs. cable download speeds (specifically Cox Cable), I though I’d write about one of OS X’s more underappreciated applications. Let’s face it. If you’re using OS X, you’re using the Internet; and if you’re using the Internet, you’re looking for one thing: speed. For most people, dial-up just doesn’t cut it anymore, and for some, cable speeds still aren’t enough. While Safari and Camino have taken care of many gripes about page...

Black Rock City countdown

Black Rock City countdown 08/27/2004 01:46 PM
Xeni Jardin: Heard from three friends today who are each driving out to Burning Man within the next 24 hours. Two out of three will place key in ignition after midnight; likely way-jacked-up on Red Bull and 500bpm trance mp3s, or some equally potent cocktail for scaring away sleep on the six+ hour drive. One packs a sousaphone. Another, a stepson. The third, his weight in explosives -- enough firepower to earn him a Guantanamo one-way, were he to absentmindedly cram it in an airline carryon with a suspect sticker.

I won't be following them. Not for lack of wanting. Miss the mess, just can't this year. Another friend who wouldn't be caught dead in glitter or elwire asked for words of advice to give his kid sister, a first-timer. IANAHCB (I Am Not A Hardcore Burner), or particularly clever. All I could come up with was this.

Do not drink the chocolate-marijuana absinthe. Do drink water until your gag reflex is triggered, then drink some more. Keep your hands off the bike seats on which sa ns culotte hippypersons have planted their naked nalgas. At least once, hit the Pancake Playhouse camp for breakfast, and raise gooey fingers in the air ("when soft rock is heard, pancakes will be served.") Pack extra copies of your Burning Man Bingo card.

Don't try to see or do everything, or think you're going to be able to find specific friends at specific places at specific times -- doesn't work like that. Be cool. Be prepared. Avoid hurting yourself, or anyone else, or that wide, white, alkaline ocean of old dust. Enjoy.

The best lesson of this thing? Joy need not be deferred.

(Snapshot at left from a bunch I shot last year: Link. There are better photos shot by other people here: Link. Previous BoingBoing post -- Book / This is Burning Man: Link. Thanks for the Burning Man Bingo reminder, kowgurl!)
