It was all going great until 4pm when the shiny new forums didn't, um, work at all, forcing almost everyone visiting to stare at an empty page. Cue an hour of frantic bug-fixing and fielding (probably deserved) jibes from around the office. Oh well, can't win 'em all.

Anyway, in other news the Craig Venter Institute has announced their engineering of a sythetic lifeform. How freaking awesome is that? Genuinely awesome.
