Code! Yes. A programmer’s strength flows from code maintainability.
But beware of Perl. Terse syntax… more than one way to do it…
default variables. The dark side of code maintainability are they.
Easily they flow, quick to join you when code you write. If once
you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny,
consume you it will.- Yoda [1]

I love it when people organize stuff like this.
I wanted to put this comic on my last post but I was running out of room.
I found myself explaining the Double Slit Experiment and Schrödinger’s cat to my co-workers this week. Ironically, one of my friends posted a video on Facebook about the Double Slit Experiment which explains the phenomenon.
Every once in a while, I go to Apple’s website to check out the newest movie trailers. I find it is a really good way to check out what movies I want to see. This weekend I came across a trailer for Beowulf which will be coming to theaters on November 16th. For those who haven’t heard of Beowulf [wp], it is an influential Old English heroic epic poem which dates back to 700–750 AD. Beowulf was basis for J.R.R Tolkien’s academic career which was the first serious literature critiques of the poem. The poem was, also, a strong influence in The Lord of the Rings which lead to the development of modern fantasy. Although I would never read Beowulf, I think it is an excellent premise for a movie.
