I am a very bottom-up thinker.

FORTRAN was the language of choice for the same reason that three-legged races are popular.

In fact, we started off with two or three different shells and the shell had life of its own.

The average gardener probably knows little about what is going on in his or her garden.

SCCS, the source motel! Programs check in and never check out!

I also have an idea for a book on biodiversity, and why and how we should be conserving it.

I still have a full-time day job, which is why it took me five years to write An Ear to the Ground, and why I won't have another book finished by next week.
