this is just too cool not to post.

I just finished writing this computer program. It reads medical CT data and renders it in 3D. I came up with its rendering method on my own; I'm amazed that it works so well.

(Threadless won't let me post HTML for some reason)

sweet

(This kind of thing is the reason why I'm not seen on threadless very often these days. School is hard.)

timrb,
Below is my attempt to show you how to post your pictures in
your blog. I may have messed up so if it looks screwy, Sorry.

you can use this HTML code

to post pictures in your blog.

should look like this,

helo on Feb 07 '07 at 4:08am

woops the code didn't show up

you type

img src=" put the URL here "/

and make sure the less than symbol is directly at the beginning
and greater than symbol is directly at the end

make sure there are no spaces between the " " and the URL

Hey, thanks.

I know how to use HTML. It's just that when I post it, the threadless server deletes it. I have contacted them about this; my account has been this way for months (it used to work fine).

try it out and see if you can post the other images

timrb on Feb 07 '07 at 4:13am

I've tried them all in by editing the blog, and the tags all literally disappear.

I'll try it in the comments:

No go.

helo on Feb 07 '07 at 4:13am

sorry, I posted before seeing your comment.

Here's your other images :

Cool stuff !

Kewl. On kind of a related note, I used a confocal laser microscope to look at a bunch of rat brain slices today :D The neurons that take up a certain gene flouresce in a different color than the nonaffected ones.

timrb on Feb 07 '07 at 4:20am

thanks, helo.

what are you studying, peater?

peater on Feb 07 '07 at 4:28am

Oh, in the lab we're looking for this part of the mammalian brain that controls respiration. We create a special ligand in the gene with restriction enzymes, stick the sucker into a viral vector, amplify it, crack open a rat brain in vivo and inject the stuff into the region.

In short, the neurons that take up the ligand are the ones in the region that controls breathing. fun stuff, but tedious.

wow.
science roxors my boxors. Indeed, science roxors all of our boxors.
