You gotta start somewhere.... I've had this blog for 2-3 years now, but this is my first post. Always a late starter. So don't have too many expectations, don't hassle me, but hopefully things will improve.

As with most of these things, coalesce will contain musings on what's grabbing my attention at any point in time. The name of the blog, as I recall, was chosen in a renaissance spirit, to break down those artificial barriers we create for ourselves, between art and science etc., in the vain hope that all these supposedly conflicting elements will coalesce into a vibrant, life-affirming crystal.

Anyway, that's enough of the general blurb. I feel I am attempting to delay the inevitable (or the impossible).
