>Take two at an article Roundup. Doing this project doesn’t take a lot of work, but the tools I’m using for it are somewhat inconvenient, which makes it an interesting (challenging?) project. Categorization isn’t difficult, but I can see how it’ll be time consuming in the end. I think the only way to really do this is to use a micro-database with a small gui to do the work and generate the HTML at the end of the day…. but hey, I’m a programmer, so you’d think I could write one if I wanted. (And yes, I could try to use Go to do it…) Unfortunately, it’ll have to wait a few more days. (Yes, I have a committee meeting on tuesday, and I’m still blogging – what’s wrong with this picture?)

You’ll notice some overlap in the days covered, mainly because I’m posting midway through the day. I could even go a step further and automate this, but somehow, I think I should take it one step at a time.

What I really wonder is if I’m casting my net wide enough, as in “what fraction of the cool genomics/bioinformatics/personalized medicine articles am I actually reading?” At least, based on the theory that I’m subscribed to the best of the cool twitterers who do a lot of the pre-filtering for me, if you believe in community filtering, maybe this really is the best of the best.

Well, without any more delay, here’s the best of the past 48 hours.
