The now-empty-but-new Spartanburg Day School Research and Design Lab I’m constructing over the summer…

And my inspiration from 2003 when the iPod was still relatively new and we didn’t yet understand the halo effect…

The Guts of a New Machine – The New York Times: “Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like,” says Steve Jobs, Apple’s C.E.O. ”People think it’s this veneer — that the designers are handed this box and told, ‘Make it look good!’ That’s not what we think design is. It’s not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.”

So very good.
