Welcome Cynthia, the first artificial life form created by Craig Venter and his team
May 20th, 2010 by Tim Greenhalgh
I was going to write about HTML 5.0 and Flash, how the Semantic Web would sweep away obsolete standards and other things that get me, an old man, excited beyond belief.
But that can wait - today we can celebrate one of those defining moments when things change dramatically, for all time. It’s all about Cynthia - the first artificial life form - created by US geneticist Craig Venter.
This is stupendous. Beyond words. I can’t embed the video but you can see it on the Guardian.
I’m off to dance the night away and normal service will be resumed as soon as possible. Enjoy!!

At 2:55 of the clip linked below, Venter says, “Cynthia is a derogatory term developed by four Canadians”. Who is he referring to?
