Triathlon Training – Been spending more time at the pool, going through this program called “Total Immersion.”Its allready helping me to decrease my number of strokes per length. Just finished reading “Born to Run”. awesomely inspiring. Company Stuff – Been winding down my work with CareCrunch. Moving to a more turnkey biz model. Mindfulness – Went to a Thubten Dharje Ling for a couple of morning meditation sessions. Will do a lot more of it. Other stuff : Turntablism – Getting back into DJ’ing which means I need to buy...

I read an interesting interview lately on O’reilly about the power of Big Data Science and traditional molecular biology. Molecular biology is becoming more and more digital. The very vocabulary of molecular biology are DNA base pairs which are expressed as A’s,T’s, C’s, and G’s parallel information technology which uses 0s and 1s. Scanned sequences in molecular biology are now rating on the terabyte scale. In genomics, the term big data is far from a buzzword. For high frequency and RNA sequencing scans the output is on the terabyte scale.... Read The Rest →

This is why I love turntablism. Still gives me chills watchin this. Im going to go dust off my 1200s and start spinning again. Im serious this time.

I recently decided to do a Wordcloud using Delicious tags from my own account. Although I am a heavy heavy user of Delicious, I don’t always tag my bookmarks so the wordcloud is not a accurate portrayal of my web browsing activities. It is interested none-the-less.

My goal is still to gain 10 more lbs by hitting the weights and eating like a goldfish, before I start cutting again.... Read The Rest →

I’ve been playing with the making interactive elements using Processing’s javascript library. It’s pretty cool. Now I’ve just gotta think up a cool data visualization to apply it to.

I’ve been working on a health visualization application for a Practice Fusion-sponsored developer competition as a side project, at first as an easy way to learn JQuery and build something cool, but it has turned into something much more valuable. It has really allowed me to see how much can be done with leveraging all the open data out there. With some clever front end engineering to visualize health data and action steps to really take charge of your health, we can really revolutionize personal health through technology. Smart phones...
