We have weapons of mass destruction we have to address here at home. Poverty is a weapon of mass destruction. Homelessness is a weapon of mass destruction. Unemployment is a weapon of mass destruction.

The CNC project is moving along slowly. I want to have the stepper motors turning and one axis built by the end of the month. My friend Nik is working on the Z-Axis now and I’m going to try connecting one of the motors to the controller board.

American education provides students with a technological, albeit sometimes redundant, edge. Unfortunately, the wrong attributes are often emphasized for all the wrong reasons because there seems to be too much emphasis on form over content. Since various forms of technology are becoming microscopic and more powerful, we no longer need to concentrate on building mini-monuments to technology. We need to think more about design performance and what technology should do. At the same time, the world continues to globalize more rapidly in ways we can’t predict, which will eventually have a deeper cultural impact on the quality of judgment we make about our designs. If we’re not careful, we’ll become too insular to what’s most meaningful.
