Welcome. This website has been around for a very long time in various forms, and it shows. You can read far more about its various incarnations than anyone would want on the about page, and you can read the latest overflow from my brain right here.

This is me.

Once upon a time

Once upon a time

Inspiration

Idleness is a disease which must be combated; but I would not advise a rigid adherence to a particular plan of study. I myself have never persisted in any plan for two days together. A man ought to read just as inclination leads him; for what he reads as a task will do him little good. A young man should read five hours in a day, and so may acquire a great deal of knowledge.
--Samuel Johnson, as quoted in Boswell's Life of Johnson
