I'm a geochemist. My main interest is in-situ mass spectrometry, but I have a soft spot in my heart for thermodynamics, poetry, drillers, trees, bicycles, and cosmochemistry.

The crap app
As civilizations haul themselves out of traditional pre-industrial lifestyles, and into the modern world, they, collectively or individually, need to choose what to modernize and what to keep traditional. That's fine, and I respect that. And as an old manual typewriter, chemical film, rotary dial phone fossil, I realize that these things strike many young people of today as being as old fashioned as vacuum tubes, or crank-start engines. And of course of the the great drivers of mechanization and automation is convenience. But still, despite knowing these things intellectually, I still have my get-off-my-lawn moments. So I gotta say. Asia, you're amazing, and I love my phone and computer chips and clothes and everything else that you make. And even though I don't like remote controls, I appreciate that others find them handy. But seriously guys, You don't need them for everything. And this one strikes me as just a little bit asinine.
