“I have more intellectual pursuits, and less intellect with which to pursue them.“

This website was formerly “the TL;DR place” on tumblr. But I occasionally posted things that I wanted others to see, and they were unable to access the content without tumblr accounts. I called the blog the TL;DR place because the writing I do here is essentially a place for me to process through my thoughts.

The domain name is a play on my name: David Laurance. David is of Hebrew origin and means something like “beloved”, and my middle name “Laurance” is derived from the name of a great aunt “Laura” back somewhere in the ancestry. The male equivalent is Lawrence, or Larry…. so… “beloved Larry” > everyone loves Larry.
