Then later, a software package that was an add-on to the VM700 (to measure video cameras) was nominated, but didn't win.fingerstothebonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09410312376236327398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34541283.post-70942213074262314762008-03-11T21:34:00.000-07:002008-03-11T21:34:00.000-07:00okay, the info on the National Geographics Genogra...okay, the info on the National Geographics Genographic Project is quite cool. so is the extra toenail.<BR/><BR/>what did you win an emmy for?gl.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03216590789836132321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34541283.post-56015756905395173202008-03-11T17:09:00.000-07:002008-03-11T17:09:00.000-07:00Ooops, let me try this again, just in case others ...Ooops, let me try this again, just in case others want to know more about the genographics projects:<BR/><BR/>Hi Amanda,<BR/><BR/>I participated in the National Geographics Genographic Project. I don't know how common it is, but I thought it was cool, and the money you pay for the kit ($100) goes towards supporting the project, which is REALLY about learning about aboriginal people around the world.<BR/><BR/>If you go to their site, you can buy a kit (I think they ship all over the world). Then you just swab your cheeks twice, separated by something like 12 hours, and send in the swabs.<BR/><BR/>I don't know how common it is. I bought a kit for my mother-in-law, and outside of that, I only know of one other person who had it done, another artist, and she used the information she learned for an art installation.fingerstothebonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09410312376236327398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34541283.post-71420965313578869822008-03-11T14:56:00.000-07:002008-03-11T14:56:00.000-07:00Thanks for playing along!

Is it common for Americans to have this testing done? I don't know anyone in Australia who knows this sort of thing about themselves.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12135240564161689792noreply@blogger.com
