Engineers are all basically high-functioning autistics who have no idea how normal people do stuff.

If this prinicpal thinks blogging isn't educational, he needs his head examined: he should be seeking out every student blogger in the school and giving them special time to blog more - and giving them extra credit besides.
Cory Doctorow
Put simply, I want to treat my readers as partners and not crooks. There is no future in calling your most active promoters crooks.
Cory Doctorow
It's not necessarily about what career you pick. It's about how you do what you do.
Cory Doctorow
I just sit down and the page just comes out and I look at it and the elements that appear on that page have a lot to do with what's going on in my life.
