Nate Hochman swears up and down to me that he had no idea that the Sonnenrad was a Nazi symbol. I told him I want to believe him, but it's very, very difficult to accept that someone of his generation who is as smart as he is really didn't know that very familiar Nazi image 1/

the etymology of "pixel" is "pic[ture] el[ement]" with an extra "s" sound in there. now, "voxel" is supposed to derive from replacing "picture" by "volume"—but then we shouldn't have an "x" at all anymore. really, it should be "volcel"
