Confession time:  I'm working on a series of articles on
this theme:  computationally-intensive science (essentially
everything nowadays, in a sense I elaborate) is only real
when the computations are based on open-source software.

I think we should stay in touch with each other--let's hit
our audiences high *and* low!  (Did anyone else play enough
US team sports to understand that trope?).
