7954042f27 Add a delightful typographic gem I discovered on page 143 in Edward 
Tuftes book "The Visual Display of Quantitative Information"

The constant width font does not quite do the typeset original justice,
but it is is good enough for a fortune.

0b3691a359 Add two little nuggets of wisdom I picked up at work today: 
The three most dangerous things in the world are a programmer with a
  soldering iron, a hardware type with a program patch and a user with
  an idea. -- The Wizardry Compiled by Rick Cook

  and

  Debugging is anticipated with distaste, performed with reluctance, and
  bragged about forever. -- Button at the Boston Computer Museum

I wonder why people call me a cynic. ;-)
