Your pet has its own life, and just happens to be in an intimate relationship with you, whoever you may be, hiding there behind your personality.

The language used at each level of a stratified design has primitives, means of combination, and means of abstraction appropriate to that level of detail.

I think electronic music has a lot in common with the spirit of rock and roll and what Woodstock had going on at the time.
