Poet Robert Pinsky said, "The longer I live, the more I see there's something about reciting rhythmical words aloud — it's almost biological — that comforts and enlivens human beings." Photographer Walker Evans said, "Stare, pry, listen, eavesdrop. Die knowing something. You are not here long."

Not long ago when biology meant looking and prodding and fixing what’s bent there were armies of scientists working away to list what they found and to know life’s display But not all was well as they tried to discover how life could be programmed since some but not other experiments worked and each person designed their template for learning as they were inclined “Share!” said the engineers “and try to remember that others will use your work only whenever the tools you develop are standard and simple think of most screwthreads and think of the wheel. Maybe in this way life by design could work out of the box and others will find lots of interesting ways to build up from the bottom making useful new parts then new systems. No problem!” By combining devices in new and fun ways the biologists builders could spend their workdays learning what’s out there and making new widgets to responsibly meet the needs of our planet
