Kiaran Stapleton has become a deep embarrassment to England. He has shown the world that ignorance is a cultural norm and his absence of empathy for life shows that he has experienced nothing in his short years on this planet.
This blog must feel a little schizophrenic, its becoming the intersection of brand and life. Life’s taking over a bit lately. Which is, all-in-all a good thing.
Human Potential
Seeing something truly great, challenges you to consider, am I capable of such greatness, and if I am, what is it that’s holding me back.

Starsky Atlas Shillum →
In honor of the stoic quality starsky showed being couped up in ICU, his massive height, scale and heart, the mountain beneath which he was born and the team that discovered the higgs-boson, we’ve decided to give him the middle name Atlas. Starsky Atlas Shillum. SAS. Nice.
Comic genius, Eric Sykes, at his best →
Shame to see great minds die.
Many half thoughts coming tonight, sitting holding Starsky, he sleeps graciously, I have an idle mind and a slightly dead right arm. Dare not move.

Gestural Login, when we can detect mannerisms and behavior the interface can respond
What should an englishman do on the 4th July? Celebrate, or take. sombre, reflective almost apologetic moment?
Watching the nurses tonight, each of them are a different height, they each adjust a single workstation, by hand. We could use simple depth detection, to bring the workstation automatically to their height. #truephysicalinterfaces #transparentdesign
