I enjoyed this part: "Researching for this post and learning about what sound is gave me a new perspective on the tree falling in the forest with nobody there to hear it question. I now think that no, it doesn’t make a sound. It makes

A couple of years ago I logged into a channel on Dalnet I used to frequent when I was 16 in 1998. Some of the SAME people were there. Nearly 20 years later.
