I like understanding things as deeply as we currently can, and I often spend too much time getting there. Most of what I figure out never leaves the confines of my head, family, or home. This website is where I try to write it down anyway. If a writeup here saves someone else time, or still makes sense to someone twenty years from now, it did its job. And if it did, or you spot something I got wrong, reach out; I'd love to hear it. We're social animals, after all.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
