I don't want my appliances to be connected to the internet. I don't want them to have blinky lights or touch screen controls or be accessible by phone. All I want is for them to do the one thing they are supposed to do, and to beep less.

Hear that, manufacturers? Less beeping.

“The potential you see in others is what you would do in their place.”

There once was a man from Kyte
Who could travel faster than light
He left home one day
In just such a way
And came back the previous night
