I am baffled by this fluffy white stuff. Should I eat it? Run away in terror!? Maybe I'll just take a walk and enjoy my macchiato. #boulder #snew (at Red Rock Coffeehouse)

You Don’t Have to Be Superhuman to Commute by Bicycle

These are people who travel many miles at a pace more like 10 miles an hour. They wear regular clothes and ride the bikes that they can afford.

My modular stacking cabinet system.  Cube cabinets link with plugin pieces to form many different types of furniture.  Desks, tables, entertainment centers, dressers, shelving, easily remixed, built in Brooklyn to last a lifetime.

Kickstarter release of a more refined version in furniture-grade plywood to follow.

This set designed and manufactured in NYC from 100% scrap materials, including reclaimed flooring from an Off-Broadway play.
