More of Waking Life…More of Richard Linklater’s Finest…

Waking Life (torrent) is a digitally rotoscoped and animated film, directed by Richard Linklater and made in 2001. The entire film was shot using digital video and then a team of artists using computers drew stylized lines and colors over each frame.

“Waking Life follows the dream(s) of one man and his attempt to find and discern the absolute difference between waking life and the dreamworld. While trying to figure out a way to wake up, he runs into many people on his way; some of which offer one sentence asides on life, others delving deeply into existential questions and life’s mysteries. We become the main character. It becomes our dream and our questions being asked and answered. Can we control our dreams? What are they telling us about life? About death? About ourselves and where we come from and where we are going? The film does not answer all these for us. Instead, it inspires us to ask the questions and find the answers ourselves” (IMDB).

Canadian Researchers Map the Human Metabolome

Canadian researchers have completed the world’s first map of the human metabolome. (via)

“If you can think of the genome as the blueprint of life, the metabolome represents the ingredients of life. That includes things like glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, it includes things like vitamins and amino acids, all the things that are in your body that help us function.”

The collection of the list of chemicals and compounds in the human body has been in progress since 2004, and consists of about 2,500 different chemicals. The instructions to produce these chemicals are in the genome.
