It has been a long while since I posted last, and without summarizing events, I am no longer employed by Mount Sinai Hospital and the Blueprint Initiative is now, obsolete. My status-only position at the University of Toronto's Dept. of Biochemistry is dependent on my, now terminated, employment at MSH. So it appears like I am no longer a faculty member at Canada's largest University, and they don't seem to notice me as having gone missing...
For now I am self-employed as a writer and working part-time at Unleashed Informatics.
So what have I learned from this experience?
Enough to fill a few books.
First up:
The Convergence of Machines - Christopher Hogue Ph.D.

A scientist uses the industrialization of the glass industry to explain to laypersons the natural nanomachines found in all cells.
