So it’s been a while since I posted on my blog, there are a number of reasons for this, but I think the most prominent one must be that I was too busy coding pure awesomeness!

I’m currently in the process of reading Cal Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot and I thought that I will share a very small piece of this book accompanied by a picture of Earth as seen from Mars.

Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every “superstar,” every “supreme leader,” every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there–on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. – Carl Sagan
