David Spriggs. All kinds of awesome. Be sure to spend some time and notice the how of his work.

Wanted to have a place for people to land that made it easier for them to figure out who the hell I am and what I do. Plus, I figured out how to consolidate all my Blogger posts into my Tumblr - which I like a lot better, if only for its better aesthetic sense.

If you are searching for an application to solve a particular problem, first really take a hard look at where the problem really lives. It may be within. And that, my friends, no application can solve.

My Workspace, originally uploaded by mark leichliter.
I finally got fed up with the fan noise, the clutter, and the general lack of wonderful that was my old desktop Windows system. Opted to indulge my inner minimalist and went for a 17” MacBook Pro. I really like this setup, plus I have a Bootcamped Windows XP partition that runs SolidWorks and Rhino beautifully. To top it off, I was able to sell the whole system to a friend in dire need of an upgrade - shiny, happy people and shiny, happy computers all around.

The pop of a cork being pulled, the click of a ratchet, the ring of a Big Ben alarm clock, the laugh of a two year-old, scissors cutting paper, the snap and crack of a Polaroid SX-70 camera, the crunch of frozen grass underfoot, the hum of a power transformer. The smell of three-in-one oil, of babies, of cedar, wet concrete, and coffee. The feel of memory foam, tanned leather, Bakelite and polished marble. The resilience of cork. The taste of saffron, warm ripe cantaloupe, and dark chocolate. These things inspire fierce, inventive originality.
