pink floyd, techno, russian literature, science fiction and software architecture — a lot in common.
once it quiets down, the shout admits: every reference marks where i was in my life when i saved it.
Pink Floyd

“The eye sees. Memory re-sees. And imagination trans-sees. One must transver the world.”
reading
“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
