I bring joy, comfort, and sometimes relief through the design of objects and their interactions. I know a bit about human factors too.

I modeled this eyeball pattern on a whim for a special iron cupola pour… 30 years ago in my metal sculpture class at SJSU.
I finished it this week with an iron phosphate patina - mounted it today with these integrated clamps.
Never too late I guess… just waiting for the right place to install it!

As I oh-so-slowly work to build up my network of cannabis professionals in the Blueskies, I found this article to be a great share... a summary of how taboo and stigma were built to protect big money interests through a convenient scapegoating.
Sound familiar?

1925 – 2025: The 100 Years War on Cannabis – How Big Industry Demonized Marijuana – Cannabis & Tech Today
Despite brief reprieves driven by the needs of war, the 1937 Marihuana Tax Act became the nail in the coffin. By 1982, another tax code, 280E, further ensured that even if states legalized cannabis, distribution would remain financially untenable.

The amount of zen achieved when using one’s new bare-bones 12” disk grinder for the first time today, is directly proportionate to the amount of giddiness experienced when using one’s new bare-bones 12” disk grinder for the first time today. They oddly don’t cancel each other out either.

I'm really digging on this rolling table design; joy received from watching them do their thing in a playful way + high precision with the most minimal of construction and parts. Don't know if I'd use it as a bar cart, but I love the potential for a movable end-table.

Is there really a benefit in autonomous vehicles which affects the average person? Are robots taking jobs from people, or is the tech really posing a financial value that goes beyond the pockets of its owners?
