   Memetic Rick's Blurbs
About me:
Secret Identity: Graduate student in the oft bizarre intersection of biological science and computers called bioinformatics. Usually quiet until you say something first. Then, I tend not to shut up.

The Real Deal: Homebrewer, cautious optimist, angry liberal, occasional corruptor of the innocent. More fun than the nerd above would seem to be. Still a science geek, though... that's a major defining bit.


"He saunters at random, sometimes through real woods thick with trees, or, more commonly nowadays, cells thick with molecules, in search of objects and happenings still unimagined." -- E.O. Wilson, Consilience


You Are 20% Addicted to Myspace
Your Myspace addiction factor is: Very Low

When it comes to Myspace, you don't know what the big deal is. Frankly, you think it's over hyped.


Who I'd like to meet:
Folks interested in exploring the cheap side of fun in Los Angeles and its surroundings. Must be able to provide own silly stories of good times past and/or meat to grill and/or trained dancing monkey.



This is a prairie dog, but there's no stopping an Internet meme sometimes, is there?

Given that we're all built from DNA, and given that DNA is (arguably, I suppose) the Ultimate Meme, isn't "Memetic" Rick kind of redundant?
