I like that all the devices we have are like a window to the one super computer. Its capacity is fairly expected yet mind blowing at the same time, given how young the internet really is. Awesome find. I came across this a few weeks ago myself and really loved the idea behind it. I like that all the devices we have are like a window to the one super computer.

The term "art" has a pretention about it which is not necessarily valid. I have always enjoyed making coffee as an art for the detail and passion that goes into it. Each espresso is different and always being refined to being better. Though as a designer i have always thought of myself less as an artist and more as a constructor of thing. Only sometimes is a creative expression actually art, in regards to my own work. I totally agree. The term “art” has a pretention about it which is not necessarily valid.

It focuses on the objects and places (and people) that we use/visit out of habit in our daily routines, but otherwise go largely ignored. They've infiltrated our lives deeply, often altering the way we live, yet we don't celebrate them. But should we?

Although, I have an engine (Toyota) that has over 175k and it runs great. My mama has one (Honda) with nearly 300k and it will still run in the fast lane. I hear about German-made cars with half a million up to two million miles. That’s awesome!
