arthur c. clarke passed on today.  i just read his obituary and learned that he was the original author of the aphorism: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” the next time i try and explain microbial evolution to someone, i think i’m going to quote mr. clarke.

auntie danielle, my sister’s godmother and my mother’s best friend passed away last night.  i thought i’d leave a photo here of danielle that i took on our way to the philippines two years ago.
