DNA Hack - The website for Amateur Genetic Engineering

Holy crap, this is what I really need to be looking at. The biotech dream is still alive in me. Here's a comment from the DNA Hack site:

Interesting thought, from Michael Schrage in the June 2003 Technology Review: "Maybe bathtub biotech will be the next to capture the mindshare of the techie tinkerers. Maybe bioinformatics and the diffusion of genetic engineering technologies will inspire a new generation of bio-hackers. Certainly the technologies are there for those inclinded to genetically edit their plants or pets. Maybe a mouse or E. coli genome becomes the next operating system for hobbyists to profitably twiddle. Perhaps this decade will bring a Linus Torvalds or Bill Gates of bio-hackerdom -- a hobbyist-turned-entrepreneur who can simultaneously innovate and market his or her DNA-driven ideas."

Looks like it's time to get in there. Trouble is, I really want to get into tinkering with electronics (which I know nothing about) and biotech (which I also know nothing useful about), both of which will take time. But I have to work for a living, and then there's the obsession with music, and of course my wonderful family, dammit! What's a wannabe mad scientist to do?
