Science may explain the world, but we still have to explain science.

If physics is the product of design, the universe must have a purpose, and the evidence of modern physics suggests strongly to me that the purpose includes us

Websites should look good from the inside and out.

We will soon be living in an era in which we cannot guarantee survivability of any single point.
