Overview of new workshop open for business, November 24, 2009
What a disappointment I suffered today when I tried photographing my new workshop open for business. I couldn't find a way to show the magic so startling to my friends who have seen the 10 second transformation from stowed to open. The work bench flips down from its stowed position above the tool chest - the tool chest front flips up. That's it. Done.

Skepticism is Helpful
If you want to notice things that seem wrong, you'll find a degree of skepticism helpful. I take it as an axiom that we're only achieving 1% of what we could. This helps counteract the rule that gets beaten into our heads as children: that things are the way they are because that is how things have to be. For example, everyone I've talked to while writing this essay felt the same about English classes-- that the whole process seemed pointless. But none of us had the balls at the time to hypothesize that it was, in fact, all a mistake. We all thought there was just something we weren't getting.
