sweet! RT @gibthon: Outputting @openPCR instruction files from Gibthon is a doddle - any other formats I should implement?
Replying to @issuu
@issuu click on embedded doc goes FULL SCREEN. jarring! good interface but can I make the "fullscreen" button smaller? eliminate? thanks!
A simple browser "PDF reader"? Want to make OpenPCR instructions "browsable". Using slideshare, lots of buttons, scribd not great either

Nice, OpenPCR on tech crunch :) http://tcrn.ch/nzZmSz
20% of the "20 under 20" are biohackers! http://tinyurl.com/27zbh84
