Christmas Eve on Old East Main

Auf der alten East Main ist Heiligabend jede Nacht,
Matrosen wie Matrosenliebchen stimmen darin überein.
Neonlichter, rote, grüne,
Zwinkern auf die frohe Szene.
Und winken dich von See herein.
Mit einem Sack der Weihnachtsmann hat deine Träume wahr gemacht:
Billige Biere, schäumend wie Champagnerwein.
Barmädchen, die gerne bumsen
Und die ins Gedächtnis sumsen:
Auf der alten East Main ist Heiligabend jede Nacht

— Thomas Pynchon, "V", Rowohlt 1988, S. 7

Swine Flu Hemagglutinin

Swine flu has been sequenced. More out of curiosity than anything else, I wrote code to translate a key gene into a piece of ambient music:
