“We didn’t set out to be educators or even scientists, and we don’t purport that what we do is real science but we’re demonstrating a methodology by which one can engage and satisfy your curiosity.”

Getting paid less to work for people you like and believe in is much better for you (and your career) in the long run.

If I had any dignity, that would have been humiliating.

Any time I have an Internet connection, there’s a sluice of stuff moving into there, everything from beautiful rings to cockpit photos.

I believe that inside every tool is a hammer.

We’re always trying to make the process apparent. So, we have learned to try and never rely on a technological solution when an analogue one is in front of us.
