New tagline

During the recent overhaul of the technical backbones of my site, I swapped out the old tagline displayed in the title of the front page.

The old one was "Thoughts on things". Pretty bland, but I'm not exactly a creative guy so I couldn't come up with anything better. But, while peeking through my friend Fabian's website I stumbled upon his projects page which features this quote by Alan Kay:

This is inverse vandalism: the making of things because you can.

It resonated immediately. I make this website for no other reason than because I can.

So I decided to ~steal~ borrow it. Which, I suppose is merely being true to Fabian's philosophy. Just look at this other great quote I found on his site, this one from the Colophon page:

I am never forget the day my first book is published.
Every chapter I stole from somewhere else.
Index I copy from old Vladivostok telephone directory.

So, inverse vandalism it is!
