How it came to be

The following is the story of this site.

I find it interesting that one would question why, since only a scientist would ask such an inquisition. But that's why this is a site about science, is it not? what would be the point of expecting an audience who is not willing to listen? All the readers here who are interested in this site are probably relative to some kind of science in some way, weather that being a professional geneticist or just someone who wishes to listen to science's bold voice. An audience member is like a customer. If I own a restaurant, and someone does not like sloppy Joe, but I only serve sloppy Joe, how am I to serve them? I can't. I simply can not serve someone something that they are not going to eat. And I won't write something for someone who won't read it. I make my ramblings for the targeted audience. And for me, as well.

At a young age, I had a need to be productive. I would scribble down thousands of analog drawings and toss them aside, all leading towards the idea of a movie I wished to make. Later on, I was introduced to "Star Wars" and became engulfed in it. I loved to see even a picture of such a scene, for the pure amazement of thinking "Wow, I'm actually seeing it." That was when I was only about five or six years of age. I purely became excited about "Lego" when I was six and seven. I think I made around thirty or so hour long movies with those little bricks. I think it was then that I was beginning to write and be creative. My love for writing brought me far, all the way from spelling my name to knowing what an "interglacieral" was. I started to love fiction, which brought me all the way to nonfiction. Scientific nonfiction.

My father had a love for technology that struck him around his college years. Today, he teaches classes on coding, website building, and scratch.mit.edu. I would listen to his classes and hear him talk of blogger and word press. I would become interested in such things, so much that it was haunting, so I eventually decided to try it for myself. But what to write...It's a hard decision. Do you want a site that has no real purpose that floats around the internet's vast sea like a stray timber from a sunken boat? Or do you want a site that many people can benefit from? I decided to write about something I love. Science.

Thank you to my teacher, and my father, and Connor Harper.
