youtu.be/YFPJq_y7ZGI I followed none of this Knicks stuff. I don't even see it on social media cause I only have like 2 friends in NYC. But damn this is a good speech. It's in the 0.4% that we get to work - that line just made the speechwriter his salary.

Apparently Craig Venter has passed away. At first I couldn't find verification (his Wikipedia page hasn't been updates), but found other sources : www.synbiobeta.com/read/a-synth.... I'm surprised I've not seen more coverage of this!
