My monthly newsletter about what I'm up to, which I send in place of social media: What I did in February• Published Three-ring binder and A fresh coat of paint on Contraption Co. • Launching a project soon at Chroma. • Had surgery to remove a plate in my wrist, leftover from a bike accident last Summer. • Ruby Weekly mentioned my Chroma for Ruby article Things to share• Books: Apple in China was absolutely fascinating - I recommend it as a way to understand the enmeshment of the US and China economies. Currently reading Blank Space, which looks at how tech killed art and created a nihilistic monoculture - I can already tell it will be a favorite book of mine.  • Films: Got deep on Gary Husweit - watching Rams, Urbanized, and Helvetica. Also enjoyed Eames: the architect and the painter - I knew them for furniture, but had no idea about their film work. • Articles: New York Is Getting Sleepier. These Artists Are Wide Awake. Helsinki announced a year without traffic deaths and discussions about it led to a resurgence of my old essay Engineering over enforcement. I'm disappointed in the World's Top 100 Coffee Shops list. • Gear: A shoe company I like did a collaboration with a coffee machine company I like, leaving me confused. • Music: Listening to Mr Wonderful and Tenor. Plans for March• Working and launching a few things.
