“Rabbit’s Clever,” said Pooh thoughtfully.
”Yes,” said Piglet. “Rabbit’s clever.”
”And he has Brain.”
”Yes,” said Piglet. “Rabbit has Brain.”
There was a long silence.
”I suppose,” Pooh said, “that’s why he never understands anything.”

A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

Design, Build, Enjoy.

“When all was said and done, so much more was said than done.” — Murphy

Not here. Try things. Build stuff. See what happens. Next time someone says you Can’t or you Shouldn’t remind them you know a guy that built a jet for the hell of it, lived off-grid for over a decade, and still makes his own baguettes.

Push what’s possible. Do something wild. I’m pretty sure you’ll dig it.
