Another interesting map of the 2008 Democratic Primaries in Brooklyn

From The Brooklyn Paper. A map of campaign contributions in Brooklyn to Hillary versus Obama. Pink is Hillary, Blue is Obama. I live in 11238, and I love my neighborhood a little bit more each day.

My philosophy

I ride a bike. I ride a bike because I enjoy it. I ride a bike because I don't like being in cars. I ride a bike because I like to experience my surroundings, not be separate from them. I ride a bike because it clears my head, and makes me stronger. I ride a bike because it makes my world bigger. I ride a bike because I believe we are in peak oil. I ride a bike because it gives me freedom.

I write software. I write software because I think it can be beautiful. I write software because I imagine myself in the machine. I write software because I always see something lacking in my computer. I write software because I have always written software. I write software as if I were writing poetry in mathematics.

I like computer science too. I like CS because I know the distinction between CS and writing software. I like CS because it is mathematics. I like CS because I like proving that LALR(1) languages are a subset of LR languages, that mergesort is optimal, or that the knapsack problem is the same as graph coloring. I like CS because I know how to use hamiltonian paths to prove my identity.

I do electronics. I do electronics because electronics is the fine art of approximation. I do electronics because sometimes you want to touch your software, and electronics makes it physical. I do electronics because it amuses people that I have a room full of tiny components in labeled drawers, and because chicks dig oscilloscopes. I do electronics to create the devices that the market can't make enough of a margin from.

I have a lot of tools. I have a lot of tools so that I'll always be prepared. I have a lot of tools, because without tools, I'm always stuck dreaming of inventions, instead of inventing. I have a lot of tools to turn my imagination into reality.
