memory stick sticks September 24, 2007
USB memory stick made of an actual twig.
To be honest, there’s something about seeing a twig in the unexpected context of a sleek computer that makes me want to cry.
I can’t explain this reaction, and maybe weepiness over nature and technology isn’t what you look for in your portable technological devices.
On the other hand, sometimes looking at a USB thingie and feeling anything seems like a small, vital miracle.
Viva twigs and tears!

fish bone extension cord July 12, 2007
Cords are useful but ugly. You could wrap them in ribbons a la Martha Stewart. You could hide them behind the couch. Or, you could flaunt them . . .
Why not dress them up as fish skeletons?
Consider it a koan about ugliness (which is uglier — a cord or a bone?). Consider it a meditation on the interplay between your electronics and the fish kill brought on by global warming.

Secret Box June 5, 2007
What’s the difference between something very nice and a treasure? I think it is that treasures are hidden and somewhat secret.
Take this clever Japanese-inspired box, for example. Like cotton orgami, it unfolds into a soft container. What little thing wouldn’t seem finer for being secreted here?
