Frankly, working life was a little disappointing. Work was more mundane than school and to some extent, the work I did at Dragonfly was more exciting.… Read the rest

Watches Tell Stories

I’ve been doing a long-term project on watches. The premise is that a watch is something I carry with my wherever I go, and they will carry “memories” of what I’m doing and what I think.

Changing the World

There was a question on what I’m up to. And I answered “trying to change the world”. And I mean it.

What is Changing the World

Now, “changing the world” seems to sound so lofty and ambitious. Really, I believe it isn’t. To me. the butcher is changing the world around him. He is providing meat to the people around him, and changing people’s lives for the better.Of… Read the rest

One reason must be the lack of time.… Read the rest
