Disclaimer
~~~~~~~~~~
I don't care what you use this for. It's intended to be educational, and perhaps
to the oddly minded - a little bit of fun. Please hack this, change it and use it
in any way you see fit. BUT, you acknowledge that I am not responsible for anything
bad that happens as a result of your actions. However, if good stuff happens, I
would appreciate a shout out, or at least give the blog some publicity for me.
Cheers!

Background
~~~~~~~~~~
Sometimes, its worth reflecting on the fact that from simple things can emerge
significant beauty. This is an implementaion of Game Of Life that runs in the console
