re the egg - really fascinating, groundbreaking stuff. We're all privileged to have a sight of some of your thoughts, and many of us will be envying you your involvement. Who knows where it will end.
As a designer I can't switch off the critical 'could it be better' mode, it's an occupational hazard. The egg's very much a collaborative affair and not my singular work, Rob makes it possible, Davy Settles kicked us off and it's a tweak at a time so it's more like standing on the shouders.... I do love the act of designing to meet challenges though, it brings great satisfaction.

It's all going to divide us up, and at the same time keep us together.
I think that innovation by definition involves one or more people breaking ranks and seeking new ground, not a division just marching to the beat of a different drum.

Can't work out how to fit in Tear drops, but will work on it.
That's when a heavily-invested prototype doesn't work :)
