The 21st century is about biotechnology, it's about enhancing ourselves, it's about designing our children, it's about customizing our food. Of course I disagreed. Not only do I think biotechnology will take quite a long...... [view]

Take Off Each time I'm leaving California I feel like it's going to be the last look. Nothing seems to be permanent here and these temporary settlements let my European senses tingle with a feeling of imminent doom.

Ghosts around me. Caught in between, not really gone, not yet arrived. An airport terminal - hard to say which city or even which country. A duty free shop, a Starbucks, groups of Japanese guys sitting on the floor around pillars with power outlets, typing on their laptops, maybe blogging how the...... [view]
