Because I yam a wild and crazy guy!

Dan, you give me hope that something other than commercial dreck has a place on the Web. Keep up the good work. I am familiar myself with how a day job slows you down, for I find in Hong Kong that teaching takes over my life because I like it just as much as coding.

I continue to develop spinoza, and I'm working on the fundamental Object, multitasking by default. The socio-political stuff is easier to write as long as I faithfully read several high quality sources per week, and I still think I can break down (deconstruct if you will) the mental boundary that causes people to blame themselves for all their problems. This is in a dialectical relationship to Weinberg, for when I discovered him in 1972 I fully agreed that my defects were the problem in developing software.

The Divine D.*

Dan, I don't know how you've kept up with it all. I've missed your posts in recent times, but this site has maintained a clean appearance and a quirky, but interesting edge, proving that it's possible to provide useful, professional content without being mind-numbing or simply regurgitating propaganda. If D.* were no more, I'd feel like I'd lost several personal friends. Even my family knows about that wild-and-crazy Nilges fellow on the other side of the globe, and Dan Read, who has coolest last name a book-lover could hope for.
