  One of the cool things about bsdcan.org was talking quantum physics with an attendee. Loved it. (I was a mathy physicsy student long long ago...) The intersection of physics with computing is absolutely fascinating. "Entropy is just the Universe's way of telling us to buy more disk space." #BSDCan #Ottawa #Physics
