Hey All, if you're going to SXSW, give a shout. I'm headed down on Saturday, and will be staying through Wednesday morning. In fact, if you're around Tuesday morning, you should come to the panel I'm speaking on: 10 Ways to Greenify Your Digital Life. (And no, I did not come up with the panel name.)

We revealed the secret messages that the J. Craig Venter Institute embedded in their new manmade genome. Disappointingly, the genome's watermarks turned out to be just the names of the institute and authors of the paper. If you could encode, say, 12 letters into the DNA sequence of a soon-to-be living organism, what would it be?

Making moonshine has gone from a backwoods black art to a high-end hobby practiced by "whiskey geeks" with a taste for top-shelf hooch. Unlike their bootlegging predecessors, who cooked up big batches of white lightning and distributed the illegal booze out of the backs of cars, today's moonshiners focus on quality rather than quantity.
