TinkerCall is computer-aided design (CAD) tool for synthetic biology. It is Open Source software that lets you design your own cells.
I wonder how long it will be before there is CAD -> CAM for synthetic biology?

Consciousness – Stanislas Dehaene
An interesting talk by Stan Dehaene. Very similar to some of the ideas I touched on in http://danfs.co.uk/#Consciousness
Edge In Paris: SIGNATURES OF CONSCIOUSNESS — A TALK BY STANISLAS DEHAENE.
Super Awareness
This project was looking at the idea that no ones opinion is right or wrong; people form beliefs based on their experiences, culture and inherited values.
The misunderstanding of opinions often stems from the inability to see what has caused the other person to form their belief.
If you could share you experiences perhaps people would have better understanding of others beliefs.
Clearly you can learn about people’s experiences second hand through conversation. But this conversation can itself be distorted by other experiances.
This project was exploring different ways of sharing experiences.
Visualizar workshop
I was recently thinking of submitting a project for the Medialab-Prado Visualizar workshop. It is a workshop that aims to facilitate the gathering of data and foster understanding from the collected data.
The problem I see is that because the data is generally so individual it requires a unique presentation technique and any general presentation tool dose not for fill the needs of the data supplier, so there is know incentive to supply the data.
What I think is needed is some sort of data comparison tool, so the data can be shared and compared with other data. The incentive being that your data would be compared to a huge amount of other data in a search for correlations. The data could be compared over time, geographically, against similar data etc. In return you would have to upload your data on to a public site so othere people could compare there data against yours.
TREE
I’m eventually getting around to putting TREE on the web, just outlining what I want to do at the moment so any comments would be appreciated. And if you would like to get involved in any way drop me a email: hello@treecycle.info

Animated map
Animated map of UK unemployment (www.guardian.co.uk) – It seems obvious to plot a map with an animated time layer; I’m surprised I haven’t seen it more often. It adds so much more to it.
MemeTracker
MemeTracker crawls 1.6 million mainstream media and blog sites, analyzes what people talk about, and visualizes the results using Flare.
RCA Design Interactions application
Two-day project for my application to Design Interactions at RCA. It explores the way we communicate and how ideas develop as result of this communication.
