Other Updates:

• Thank you all so much for the fantastic feedback on Wisdom/Madness of Crowds!  I'm surprised how much attention that lil' prototype got.  I actually made another prototype for a different project at the end of January, but I won't be able to share it with y'all until a couple weeks from now, because...
• ...I'm currently traveling!  In particular, I'm crashing at DynamicLand for two weeks.  It's hard to explain what DynamicLand is, so check out their website and their videos on twitter – basically, it's a magical interactive wünderland!  I'm excited to make some explorable explanations at DynamicLand, record videos of the process, and share it with you peeps too.  :)

Happy Almost Chinese New Year! 🐕
