All solar powered, some light-seeking etc. I think these things have a potential that hasn’t quite found itself yet – though probably more as an appropriate-tech thing – given that the price of microprocessors is going through the floor.

I quite like the way the components become part of the design – there’s an honesty in allowing the materials to shine through.

Mind you, there’s a lot to be said for going off on a mad tangent as well…

An ode to Cognitive Surplus.

A celebration of the inventive backwaters of the human spirit... a celebration of people who would appear to have far too much time on their hands...


A celebration of laterality.


If you come they will build it.


By knowledge shall the spheres be filled.
