The surest way to make a monkey out of a man is to quote him.” Robert Benchley (1889-1945)

My mother often said”Fools names and fools’ faces are often seen in public places.” She was most often speaking of graffiti when she said such things but I wonder if hearing that over and over again from a very early age is part of the reason I have never been able to submit anything I [...]

I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them. Isaac Asimov (1920 – 1992)

I fear I share Isaac’s sentiment. I’ve been using computers in one form or another since the mid 70’s and I’m pretty much hooked on the technology.
