Assumption is the mother of all fuck-ups

When we allow assumptions to color our research, rather than have research challenge our assumptions, the result is invariably pseudoscience.

Goodbyes

Sometimes it makes me sad, though... Andy being gone. I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up DOES rejoice. But still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend.
