Would you get a DNA or finger print portrait?

May 14, 2012 4:58 PM

Have you ever heard of DNA or finger print portrait art? The basic idea of this type of art involves taking your DNA or Finger print and applying it in portrait form, in an artistic way, would you pay to have this done to your DNA or finger print, and doesn't it seem a little strange?

not only strange but silly too.
why would you want to advertise (which is what a picture basically is) something that is supposed to be so personnal?

@moosezilla: I agree 100%. But, some of the designs are pretty cool :) I personally would never do it.

Didn't they have a sponsored deal for these not to long ago?

yes. just for the chance, when the wife says "what's wrong with you!?", to point to a specific place on the DNA portrait and say "right there!"

Plus it could help the police identify your body.

Not as art, but I have been playing around with the idea of tracing my genetic ancestry using https://www.23andme.com/. This is the same company featured on PBS' Finding Your Roots hosted by Louis Henry Gates,Jr. And then paranoia & fear of The Man creeps in. I wonder if fear of ones government is genetic?

@moosezilla: Because the average person can't interpret the painting, so it doesn't really reveal anything to them other than it looks kinda cool.

@lavikinga: I have always thought that would be interesting as well. I'll have to keep an eye in it and see if it drops in price.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
