Laurier Rochon I like networks, euphemisms, maps and CSS. Some time ago I went to technical school and learned a plethora of outdated skills - it was fun. I survived and moved on to art school, this time using conspicuously vague arguments to justify my work. Currently in Rotterdam, I am hoping to simultaneously learn new binary tricks and restore my faith in humanity.
Reading notes
I need to take notes on things I read, otherwise my mind forgets. And then it's like I never read it at all.
