Americans are so desperately afraid to be seen as anything like peasants that they impoverish their lives instead by their constant struggle to look like they're well-off and accomplished. I think, reflexively, that this is why I'm perfectly delighted to occupy the peasantsphere and muse in poetry while saving myself from rat race thinking.

I’m speaking at Defuse – Design For Use – at The Sugar Club in Dublin on November 10th at 7PM.

The theme is “Reclaiming Design: Taking Back Purpose in an Automated Age” and my talk’s titled “Think small.”

It’s first come, first served, so mark your calendars and show up early (and find me and say hi if you do!) :)
