Salaam, the names Mohamed. I'm a twenty-something living in Calgary.

If you are reading this, I'd like to welcome you to my Tumblr. This blog is a space where i share stuff. Mostly, it's comprised of interesting content from around the web but occasionally there's glimpses into my personal life of moments I'd like to share and never forget.

If you enjoy your time here, I hope that you'll join me as i continue on in this exercise in writing and living.

السلام عليكم / Peace.
whatpath: M.C. Escher said, ‘Mathematicians go to the garden gate but they never venture through to appreciate the delights within.’ An observant pair of scientists discovered that medieval Muslim mathematicians not only ventured through the gates, they artistically expressed the enchantments of the garden. Dr. Lu (Harvard) and Dr. Steinhardt (Princeton) state that Islamic designers had mastered techniques ‘to construct nearly perfect quasicrystalline Penrose patterns, five centuries before their discovery in the West.’
