Notes:

  • WordPress may mess up the double quotes, you may need to retype that if you copy this directly from the blog
  • The perl scripts you see are the ones I used to create mathematical collages of my pictures

I got this idea from Mark Pilgrim of Dive into Mark who said this meme is sweeping the net.  I couldn’t help but participate.

As is to be done with Memes, I tag Dan and Penguin Pete to go next.
