I think dry nanotechnology is probably a dead-end.

If all else fails, there's always print or web zines.

If we suppose that many natural phenomena are in effect computations, the study of computer science can tell us about the kinds of natural phenomena that can occur.

Computations are everywhere, once you begin to look at things in a certain way.

All living things are gnarly, in that they inevitably do things that are much more complex than one might have expected.

The world is magic. Science is but an insipid style of sorcery.

Traditional science is all about finding shortcuts.

A little-known truth: Every aspect of the world is fundamentally unpredictable. Computer scientists have long since proved this.

Even when I was caught in the web, I didn't give up hope. And as you see, I was right.

When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.
