Another fantastic track by the UK DJ Paul Harris and our buddy Mark Knight! The bassline is very similar to one of my tracks from the Roland MC303 days in 2002-2003. The track Astral Acid is punching its way up to climax around 4:20 and the swirling lead is tweaked with my favorite knobs – cutoff and resonance! Simple, yet dynamic and progressive. Progressive is simply the way to go!

This is the track I’ll be rollin’ tonight

All these Salif Keita vibes are coming up… old times, good times, happy times…
This track reminds me of Club Pacha in Barcelona. The day I walked from Sagrada Familia down to Carrer del Doctor Aiguader and went to the club… 2 hours passed and I found myself walking out from the club terrace down to the water by taking a quick bath in the sea. I am sure it was another Mory Kante effect that made me and the twenty-something other people go crazy! Yeke Yeke!

That is how good music affect the human body. The rhythm of soulful African tribal beats are invaluable!

“Analogue Dollars for Digital Cents”

Me trying to explain about the ratio between internet and IRL; what internet business is worth compared to real life business. However, internet has greater ways of recognition for a wider audience…yeah yeah whatever. Cool quote, right? Thanks to Kevin Rose for that one! I just love quoting, but there times when the quote and the audience has a perfect timing, so it just gets a slam dunk’da funk.

“I had an affair with Hillary Clinton, now see where I am at”

Me trying to utilize the possible ways of becoming homeless by printing a catchy text screensaver for my office computer. Now, people interpret this quote as me being very unhappy with my position at the company. Lovely and catchy. Perfect for the upcoming vote-or-die campaigns. Where’s Daddy Puffy Puff Puff at?

“This sample is homo, should I control with the CE sample too?”

Now, it’s not always easy to know how to handle homo samples on the computer. I’ll try to explain…
I analyze DNA in a program, right? So this time I was analyzing a C-Genetic donor sample and found out that both Exons 2 and 3 had the same mutations, which we sumarize as homo mutation. I asked “Niclas” (which actually got this name as a counter reaction from my part when he called me “Mr Kipong” which seems to be a Korean movie character and (in real life) a handsome guy), and I hear a big Laugh Out Loud from “Harry” (getting his nickname from Harry Potter, which I have never seen (the movie that is) but the looks are identical – - off the record). Not homosexual DNA samples, but homo mutations. Learn!

“It’s bpe outside…bpe bpe”

Getting halfway down to punch out for the day around 7-8 pm I see “Ms Hooti” (the word hottie with that Southeast Asian swing in it) which actually is meant to honor her elegant looks and hyped-up glasses. I try to keep the good spirit up along the walk we’re having down to the out-puncher machine (or whatever you’d call that hi-tech hand scanner). Trying to remember the word for rain, which I knew has a bp sound (like a B-popping sound with bulging lips), I managed to say bpe which means blood. The correct word for rain is Bpi, almost like the mathematical constant π, pi.

Synopsis of the day you’d ask for, huh?

My faux pas of the day was when (1) giving a ring to my beloved co-worker (which is becoming an electronic lova’ fo’ sho’, heh) for her patience with my all-day-round mockery, (2) eating Kimchi with chopsticks and slurping a lil’ bit to blend in when they’re eating (slurping) soup, and (3) greeting Anyeo Haa-Seyo to the senior employees in the morning and Anyeo to the “kids” (my nearby associates).
Still I am carrying around a little bit anxiety when it comes to “Ms W” which seems to completely forgotten our good moments of leisure.

I am just about to realize all the varieties of life which can be seen with today’s technology. It is indisputably so spectacular and magical. (Especially when it comes to microscopic life, which is a diverse field of science in which humans still are learning from).

It is always a privilege to be a part of humanitarian work, and it gets even more exciting when every day is about saving peoples lives. Nevertheless, I find myself searching for mutations in the human genome every day. Human leukocyte antigen system is my “field of interest” – the so called vast science of major histocompatibility complex in humans.

HLA have other roles. They are sometimes involved in mate selection. They may protect against or allow cancer. They may mediate autoimmune disease (examples: juvenile diabetes, coeliac disease).

Aside from the genes encoding the 6 major antigens, there are a large number of other genes, many involved in immune function located on the HLA complex. Diversity of HLA in human population is one aspect of disease defense, and, as a result, the chance of two unrelated individuals having identical HLA molecules on all loci is very low. Historically, HLA genes were identified as a result of the ability to successfully transplant organs between HLA similar individuals.

So what makes this job hard? Well, let’s face it. The transcription (or let us call it “data”) is extremely fuzzy. Now check this out:

HLA are extremely variable loci

MHC loci are some of the most genetically variable coding loci in mammals, and the human HLA loci are no exceptions. Despite the fact that the human population went through a constriction more than 150 000 years ago that was capable of fixing many loci, the HLA loci appear to have survived such a constriction with a great deal of variation.

Now that’s the problem. There are so many variations. This is not about remembering those mathematical and physical equations from school.

In 1968, it was discovered that matching these antigens between kidney donor and recipient improved the likelihood of kidney survival in the recipient.
