DIY DNA synthesis links and notes

[Bryan Bishop]

Hey all,

There have been some posts to the diybio about do-it-yourself DNA
synthesis from household items. Here are some links for the sake of
hoarding.

There is a small FAQ with these links over here:
http://openwetware.org/wiki/DIYbio/FAQ#DNA_synthesis_MiniFAQ

Speaking of which, I've been meaning to write an updated FAQ about
transhumanism, diybio, open manufacturing, maybe open source medicine,
fablabs, pink army, etc. etc. It's just something that should be done
relatively soon. The diybio FAQ hardly covers these other subjects.

I would prefer to use something else, but for the sake of brevity,
sure. I would really really like to throw up a dokuwiki somewhere and
just use that, because a wiki is more appropriate for this sort of
thing, and OpenWetWare has its own identity issues, and I don't even
know why we're bothering to store the diybio FAQ there.

I would be willing to host the dokuwiki on heybryan.org; in the mean
time, I have access to diybioforums.org and can put it up there,
unless someone is quicker than I am and can throw up a wiki for this
FAQ even faster. ;-)

Let the race begin.

Yes. Fantastic. Let's work on this soon. Google docs okay?

"Have patience with all yet unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and foreign scripts. Do not now seek the answers. They cannot yet be given because you could not yet live them -- and the point is to live everything. At the present, you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day."

A wiki would be much, much better.

Thanks!

Let's do it.

Okay. There we go. Let's get started.

Because Bryan is awesome, he set this up to get us started:

Let's add to it!
