chance
A constant dialogue
The gods who live beneath names
Possible lives
In Defense of Browsing
Stepping stones in possibility space
A few things that could be poetry
The art of finding what you didn’t know you were looking for
A brief foray into vectorial semantics
Micromorts
Chance favors the prepared mind
The Evolution of Useful Things
Spike and spon
Shaped and reshaped
Form follows failure
Their wrongness is somehow more immediate
A small corner of the world of things
My job is simply to design gadgets that I like
More easily asked than definitively answered
Only a commercial and utilitarian view
Stick like hell
This tactile form of doodling
Materials and how to employ them
Sonorisms VI
The need to dispense a product properly
Intrapreneurship
Customers will confer a favor on us
The inventive process was often a nonverbal one
The reflective craftsman
Form eschews function
Style consists in distinction of form
Such an unholy alliance
Most advanced yet acceptable
Combinations and arrangements
Economy of material and labor
More profitable and a better buy
Substance over style
When engineers refuse to leave well enough alone
To anticipate all the uses and abuses
Lighter, thinner, cheaper
