Trikoton Converts Audio into Clothing
Trikoton will convert your voice into a sweater. It’ll look something like this. According to Co.Design: “The technology here is an audio-signal processing program that converts speech into the binary code of a knitting pattern.

The Naked Closet
Of all the things I had to toss out in the past week, the very easiest to deal with was my clothes. It might be because I didn’t have to toss any of them out. I had already rationalized my closet.

The Past is a Barnacle
pic nicked from here When a ship is at sea for a long time, a bizarre species of crustacean, known as barnacles, affix themselves to the hull. Although one barnacle does no damage, too many impair the ship’s speed and manoeuvrability. When that happens, the ship must return to port to be cleaned, stripped and …

Planting the Seeds of Two Suits
I had a lovely visit with my tailor, Don Fabien Lee yesterday, the goal of which was to have some final tweaks and tucks made to the black suit I had purchased earlier in the year and to start the process of having two more suits built. I knew, when I entered, that I wanted …
