Three is the magic number, yes it is. I’m still finding my way with this little project. It’s hard to come up with something monthly to put in here–something that’s coherent. I can’t promise this edition is. That’s OK. Not everything has to make sense. The world doesn’t, why should we hold our efforts to this imaginary standard?
A few weeks back, I gave my first design talk. This is a recording of that event. If you want to hear me blather on for 45 minutes, go for it. I haven’t watched this video. I will eventually.

Random stuff I thought was worth capturing…
“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day.”
Albert Einstein
“it’s partly the curiosity, partly a sense of adventure, but mostly I think it’s the fame and the money…”
Douglas Adams
Phase 003 complete. I think 004 will be better.
