Lee’s blog! Yayyyy
I am trying to vote for a hero who is a superman in bioinformatics. Anyone else want to help? I think it will be super-awesome to have a computery-genetics genius to usurp Mohinder Suresh in the research department. It would fit to have a person involved more in the genetics behind the high-tech atmosphere on the show rather than having Mohinder use blood plasma every time to cop out on actual research.
Anyone else want to help in the voting effort?
I got another “swallowing” vasovagal reaction yesterday. We were done playing badminton and went to Moe’s. While Annie was telling a story, I kind of swallowed-hiccuped. That’s all it took. Apparently it kind of looked like Annie put me to sleep for a second. It hasn’t happened for at least a few years to me. I thought it was under control :-/
For the next month and a half, you’ll be as old as me, you old fart. BWAHAHAHAHA
Hey, Channukah and my birthday are coming up, aren’t they? I started up a wishlist under my pages on the blog.
According to this real age calculator, I am 9.8 years old and will live to be biologically 89.2 years old.
A lot of the answers I filled out were guestimations though.
Sometime between last year and this year, my Google PageRank went from a 2 to a 3, and my site became the first result for “Lee Katz.” Eat that, radiologist-at-Yale Lee Katz.
I have been in a cold war with R.a.Y. Lee Katz for some time now. I think it all started when I started receiving odd emails that were actually addressed to him. The first odd emails that got my attention were baby pictures. I have no idea who whose baby it was though. I even got a follow up picture when the baby was 3.5 weeks old.
The next emails I got were from this synagogue, Internet forwards from family and friends, Yale medical school rotation notices, and even a thank you for attending an open house.
What’s more is that R.a.Y. Lee Katz has published an outstanding 37 times in journals such as Clinical Sports Medicine, while I only have two in progress. As a result of his accomplishing what I want to accomplish and as a result of this email fiasco, this cold war might never be over.
Dear RaY Lee,
If you only knew how to give out the correct email address, this would all be over! Or maybe you want to be me. Is that your diabolical scheme? Is that why you went to evil medical school for four years and then four years of evil residency? Ingenious!
I found this password revealer today, written in javascript that works.
javascript:(function(){
var s,F,j,f,i;
s = "";
F = document.forms;
for(j=0; j<F.length; ++j) {
f = F[j]; for (i=0; i<f.length; ++i) {
if (f[i].type.toLowerCase() == "password") s += f[i].value + "\n";
}
}
if (s) alert("Passwords in forms on this page:\n\n" + s); else alert("There are no passwords in forms on this page.");
}
)();
Paste it into your address bar and hit enter. You’ll see every password on the page that was covered up by asterisks.
Finally…
After 25 years of getting lost in Atlanta and other places, I bought a GPS system. Next time you want to go to that random Mexican restaurant down Chattahoochee Avenue across from the Pepsi Bottling Plant, I’ll get there on time.

In time for the bioinformatics conference, I made a new site for my lab. It’s a blog (much like this page) because there is a newsfeed, some need for photos and thumbnails, and an introductory front page. Because it’s a blog, it has tons of standard good-looking themes to choose front, so it’s pretty.
Introducing… the Jordan Lab.
I am strutting my stuff tomorrow at a poster session at GA Tech’s international bioinformatics conference. I’m pretty happy about it.
I’m inspired by this Javascript game I found. It’s only 200 lines of code, and it works in any modern browser because it is built on prototype. If I learn this kind of coding, there’s no telling what I can do! Maybe I can deviate from these text-based games and do something else. Or since I am building a web application for research, I could incorporate this kind of Javascript.
As of now, most games on the Internet are built on Flash and Java. Flash and Java are separate programs and require constant updates. Sometimes they crash browsers. However, Javascript is integrated into browsers and is updated whenever you update the browser itself. Compared to Flash and Java, Javascript hardly ever causes the browser to crash. I really hope I can learn how to do this kind of programming.
