You can now choose which theme you like, cause all of you kept asking for different ones.

Have a look and let me know which is your fave?

The panic is over, ReGenesis is alive!

After a few emails back and forth with the music composer, and a very nice email from one of the show’s producers, I can confirm that there will, indeed be a new season of ReGensesis.

I was most honored to recieve the emails, as both have been very forthcoming in relieving my anxiety. It’s nice to see people who care about there fanbase.

I must also recommend that you guys find and enjoy some masterful music by Tom Third, who has a site over at LastFM.
Some of his work has been remastered over at ReGenesis Remixed.

I can only describe it as a bit of Filia Brazilia mixed with some Massive Attack (my all-time fave artist), a splash of Faithless, and a bit of funk thrown in for good measure.

What about ReGenesis you ask?

It has brilliant writing, great stories, and an amazing cast lead by the incredible Peter Outerbridge.

The future is here. Bioterrorism. Designer babies. Frankenfoods. Suddenly Humanity possesses the ability to play god. But is it progress—or madness? Will cutting-edge science be our salvation? Or our demise?

ReGenesis is a new, 13-part one-hour, dramatic series about NorBAC, an organization formed to investigate questionable advances in biotechnology.

The Pandora’s box of biotech is wide open. It’s a modern gold rush, where billions will be made and geo-power will be staked. And everyone’s involved: governments, multinational drug companies, rogue states, and terrorist. But ideas can’t be put back in—once they’re out, they’re out.

One of the main reasons I started medical school was because I wanted to work in this field, biotechnology, bioweaponry and nanotechnology.
I had a particular interest in Ebola - and still do :)
I quickly changed my mind once I became pregnant with my daughter, as I did not want to take any chances - I wanted to see her grow up.

I can only describe my love for this show as “More abundant than my love of House (or House MD)”.

I am so very excited!

now that’s what I call a message…

One of my fave shows of all time, ReGenesis - is no-where to be found.

Their site (regenesistv.com) is no longer alive, which has caused me to panic and worry that there will not be a Season 3.

This show has brought me such beautiful people like Peter Outerbridge and the delicious Dmitry Chepovetsky.

You can’t go away.

YOU

JUST

CAN’T!

WAIT!

I see the sites have loaded now.

Panic somewhat diminished.

3-year-old Joel Morris is fighting for his life…

News No Comments »

My sister emailed me about a very sad story today.

3-year-old Joel Morris is fighting for his life.

Joel with his twin brother

The hospital that is “treating” him for his brain tumour has applied to the courts to pull his life support (pull the plug).

The family have started a blog to keep people updated and hopefully gain some support.

Although I usually do not go to sites that have such a strong religious influence, I am asking all of you to visit thier blog and leave some support for them. I can only hope that their religion is helping them deal with this.

Some would argue that “g*d’s plan” may include the doctors pulling the plug. I don’t know about that, but I do see a family who is suffering. My thoughts are with you in your time of need.

Vocaltec iphone…

Design, News, Question of the day 4 Comments »

Am I the only one that remembers/used iPhone back in 1995 made by Vocaltec?

That program was fantastic. Talking to people around the world over your 14.4 connection was cool. (Well, the audio quality was like a POTS line back in the 70’s, but hey, it rocked!…Well, it rocked until CuSeeMe came along.)

There was a guy on the chatrooms who called himself ironside (he was in a wheelchair) and we used oi have such a laugh - I often wonder whats’s happened to the people who used it.

If you know of any, drop me a line - I may reveal what my handle was :)

Now have a Mitsubishi Diamond Plus 200 monitor at work, and I really like it!

New Monitor
Notice the duck-taped wrist rest (I am so damned rough on them that they keep breaking and the gel slimey goo gets everywhere, and at 30 pounds a pop (provided by myself), I am going to defeat the goo!).

I want to not have joint pain in my feet and knees.
I want to stop the dieting plans and fad diets once and for all.
I want to buy awesome clothes and feel great wearing them.
I want to feel sexy and really make my man drool. =D

I want to be able to sit in a restaurant and eat without feeling like people are looking at me and wondering why I am there.

So here I wait, anticipating my surgery date. All systems go!
