We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tend to be the difficult ones."
February 12, 2002, former US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld

Posted Sat Dec 1, 2012 2:26PM | Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. But if you just get to work, something will occur to you and something else you reject will push you in another direction.
--Chuck Close
