MYT additions

Earlier, for the MYT project, i talked about encoding personal messages into the plants grown from one's marker and finding cheap effective means of reading this information. This article from boingboing shows that this sort of tech is not too far off.

"a steganographic text-encoding scheme that uses bacteria to encode messages and selective antibiotics to reveal them. It was conceived of in response to a DARPA challenge to devise non-electrical text-encoding, but its applications include adding text-based information to GM crops that can be read in the field (or in the market) to determine what's being grown."
