    Thanks for sharing this. I loved this quote since DH has stayed up all night before playing HALO.

    Quote
    "You can get into work and say I stayed up all night -- [but] I wasn't playing Halo," says David Baker, Ph.D., a biochemist at the University of Washington in Seattle. "I was designing an HIV vaccine."
