Hello, world.

I like the idea of blogging, but i dislike the idea of actually blogging. I might just use this blog as a convenient place to store projects, passing each project off as a blog entry.

Otherwise, most of the material will probably be of little or no interest to anybody other than myself, and I will be whistling in the dark.

Apoptosis is programmed cell death, I have been told. When the body ‘decides’ that a cell must die, it sends chemical ‘die’ signals to that cell, instructing it to turn off and submit to the will of the body. When cancer occurs, the cells in question are basically disobeying the apoptotic signals. They are refusing to die as they should, and are instead continuing to live and proliferate.
