Quote of the moment, July 2009 edition

After spending most of the weekend chucking paper from my office and still having a long way to go before I hit anything approaching “clean,” this quote from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine felt appropriate:

Humans have a compulsion to keep records and files — so many, in fact, that they have to invent new ways to store them microscopically. Otherwise their records would overrun all known civilization.

(For the sticklers, that’s Constable Odo in the episode “Necessary Evil.”)
