Comments on: A Short Introduction http://www.bendtheline.com/2009/01/26/a-short-introduction/ Just another WordPress weblog Sat, 31 Jul 2010 14:37:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Patrick Dowell http://www.bendtheline.com/2009/01/26/a-short-introduction/comment-page-1/#comment-13 Patrick Dowell Tue, 10 Feb 2009 04:44:14 +0000 http://www.bendtheline.com/2009/01/26/a-short-introduction/#comment-13 I do like arguing. Curiosity is good thing though and I really don't mind the questions. One thing I'm gonna have to insist on though is that you post on your blog more often! Well, maybe after we finish the million things we're working on now... Anyway, thanks for reading and commenting. I'm actually looking forward to the many hours of work we have ahead of us. It's really fun working with you two. I do like arguing. Curiosity is good thing though and I really don’t mind the questions.

I feel like you and Lauren both really get a lot of the things I'm trying to say with this blog. That's what makes it such a pleasure for me to work with you guys. An unfortunate consequence of this is that I feel like many things I mention here won't be that new to you both. Oh well. Thanks Jeremy.

I was always told that mine were "whassat?" or the baby talk equivalent of "what's that?" Funny how we don't change much as we grow up. I'm still a pest hanging over your shoulder while you work on the backend. And you're an oppinionated partner (though not irrationally disagreeable). I love that you're always up for a debate, looking to hash out the angles and find the ways many ways to view things, and ultimately to execute problem solving. Makes for a great programmer and an awesome partner I can't wait to read the upcoming posts and watch the blog evolve!

I think this is a side of computing and programming that is seriously under represented on the internets at large and I'm looking forward to reading into your head more. Congratulations on the new blog! Compelling introduction!

Congratulations on the new blog!

I wasn't specifically going for a three there, but it's fitting. I like the three concepts you use to describe the different angles: physics, mathematics, and technology. But, you could replace technology with engineering, as I do think of engineering as the discipline of applying mathematics and physics toward the creation of technology. Amusingly, I was trying to find a better word for "stuff" or "things" for the sentence about the third angle. I think technology would have worked well in that context. Oh, and welcome to the site!

May it be long and interesting. Interesting podernings on the nature of computing. It seems that you are looking at it from three different angles. Physics (the "what" of computation), mathmatics (the "how") and technology that improves people's lives (the "why"). Does this seem accurate to you?
