(Also, we do most of our own typesetting using LaTeX, design our own artwork, and for some journals happily pay hundreds of dollars a page for the privilege. This project went from the authors to me to the publishers to the printer, and back to me as proofs, without any physical paper except the signed contract and copyright forms changing hands, and most of it was only keyed in once, by the original authors in flat ascii files.)

Reading, writing, plant photography, and the small details of my life, with digressions into science and computing.
