Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I just started a new job and it's #1 on my list of things I'd rather be doing: research on making renewable fuels from biological organisms at UC Berkeley. In the lab of Dr. Tasios Melis, I am going to be working on a project of trying to get a unicellular green algae and a photosynthetic purple bacteria to grow together and produce hydrogen. More details to follow.

I recently have read a piece of work that is associated the SF Diggers. The essay is called Deep Tried Frees and you should read it, especially if you live in San Francisco, are an anarchist, dream of utopias, or are enamored by hippies. It is all about the Digger movement in SF in the 60s that centered around communal living and free services, food, events, etc. I might try to update it again (was previously updated in 1989) and hand it out for free at protests and other events.
