I believe that everything is a remix. Without the ability to be inspired by, copy from, and transform the work of others before us humanity would not have accomplished any of the incredible things that we have been able to. In fact, this ability is what makes us unique from all other life on Earth. In whatever small way I can, I hope to be able to contribute to this incredible process.
