where is john?

Still happily living in Salem, Oregon.

what is john up to these days?

As of today, I am happily working for Opentrons, leading a team of software developers working on the laboratory information management system powering Neochromosome’s DNA Foundry.

I built out a similar team within Opentron’s PRL business unit, hired my replacement, and am happily working on executing a very similar plan at Neo. What’s next? Still unclear but I’m sure it will be fun!

(Yes, we are hiring!)

Still continuing to pretend like I regularly blog at genehack.blog.

Kinda fell off the horse and stopped documenting daily life in the Plague Times at covid.house, largely because I got tierd of repeating "stayed home. had some calls. tried to work on side projects and didn't make much progress" over and over again — and then we had a brief un-lock-down period and that _totally_ destroyed motivation. Now that it looks like we're going to have a Delta-driven return to isolation, maybe I'll start up again…

who made john think this was a good idea?

Jmac’s now page was inspirational in getting this one off the ground.

can i see the previous versions of this page?

Sure. Here are archived previous versions:
