My previous post took quite a bit out of me. I thought it a good excuse to take it easy for a week. But now more than a week has passed, I thought I should give you something more to read.

Go read The Value of Science by Richard P. Feynman, a legend of a scientist and educator. Go, read it, think about it. If you want, come back here and share your thoughts and feelings.

When I become really busy in August, I hope to still get around to one post per week. I know where I want to take this blog next. I have something of a commitment to the plan, though I cannot predict how it will go down. Despite my fears and doubts about it, it remains something I feel a need to do. On the other side of that mountain lies a valley I’m eager to explore… but first, over the mountain I go.

From now until mid-August, hopefully two posts per week — there are a couple of loose ends I want to tie up this month. Likely only two per week though, as I’m busy with relocation arrangements and some side projects: I will probably fork off a second blog as found a focus. I need a place for computer-geek stuff, and other personal things unrelated to this blog’s focus.

But I digress, and into unnecessary detail at that. Go read the Feynman talk, it is a public address given at the 1955 autumn meeting of the National Academy of Sciences. May we find a good path forward, and use our keys wisely.
