Paul’s online math notes.

It’s easy to grow disillusioned with tech, even to the point that it appals you. I’ve been using computers since 1988 and the net since 1995 and over time, something’s happened.

People ought to be walking around all day, all through their waking hours calling to each other in endless wonderment, talking of nothing except that cell. — I should have loved biology
