Where it all began
Unexpectedly familiar
The mystery of the Devon Palm
The Ikea phenomenon
Mynas
Impressions of New York
Synecdoche, New York
Famous because
A matter of scale

Being an early adopter
Are we about done yet?
Prostate cancer

Colour from black & white
How much effort is too much?

Odd characters
Typography can be important
What influences design?
A maturing technology
I’d love to apply, but…
KITCHEN
(coping in the kitchen):
Cauliflower soup
Cheese puffs
Ratatouille
Quick stir fry
Another quickie
The elusive poached egg
The right sauce
Just nuke it

What is a knot?
Why is news so badly written?
