"Few Things Have So Much Effect On the Feeling Inside a Room as the Sun Shining Into It"

I love A Pattern Language.

“The fact is that very few things have so much effect on the feeling inside a room as the sun shining into it.”
-- Christopher Alexander, A Pattern Language

I've said it many times, and I'll say it again, I love A Pattern Language.

* Someone once told me, "It's pretty rare to find a blogger who isn't what you'd expect from reading his or her blog," and I've found that to be true in most cases. For instance, Laura Mayes is a delightful person in real life, and her blog Blog Con Queso is delightful, too.
