“In the irregular trivia of common life mixed with a bit of scientific doodling and failure to the intense dramatic concentration as you closes in on the reality and the final elation (plus, with gradually decreasing regularity, the sudden clear pangs of question)-that is how technology is performed.”-Richard P. Feynman to Adam D. Watson
