For much of its existence, design was all about convenience. We wanted to hide technology so that users are not distracted into thinking about the tools they use.

Information wants to eat brie.

It's always nice to receive a compliment.

Life, people learned, was not easy. Life was not cake. Life was not a carrot cake.

Wisdom is sold in a desolate marketplace where none can come to buy.

There is no way that I could have survived if I had not changed my style of play.
