View from weekend campsite: a furniture designer built a house into a cliff face in Sedona. There’s a cargo elevator at the base of the cliff. Would love to see what this looks like in fifty years.

Abductive reasoning (aka abductive process) is core to effective decision-making and sustainable design. So much software sucks today because abduction is denigrated in engineering and management schools as creative or artistic, while induction and deduction are described as somehow more scientific.
