I used this sentence of [Geoff Bilder](https://network.nature.com/people/mfenner/blog/2009/02/17/interview-with-geoffrey-bilder?ref=lorcandempsey.net)‘s in my presentation: “For every distributed service created, we’ve then had to create a centralized service to make it useable again”.  
And spotted on a coffee shop T-shirt: “we don’t do tall”.
