A lot of stuff I want to do would call for lots of very small images on a screen. Of course you would then want to hover over them or tap them or whatever and they would show you other, bigger things.

Nobody is doing this.

feng shui

The way I'm using Feng Shui, it's not about avoiding problems, it's about what I want to accomplish. Now, if I have problems, first, it's probably because of my clutter, but the idea of decluttering is not so appealing to me - I mean, OK, it's appealing, but it's problematic, and why fight stuff? - so, if I have a problem, I do look at my clutter and work with it a little. I try to beautify my clutter. That does work! As far as bigger goals go, I'm gradually working on the whole situation. Period.

Lillian Too doesn't emphasize problems too much. She's suggesting cures, and offering them for sale. It's cool.

my rant

I often point to assumptions about the market for a product as being indicative of the limits on a company's prospects. Thus B to B targeted products that just don't make sense. That's not my major concern, but the obverse is products that could make sense as consumer facing basic goods, but are perversely targeted to "professional" markets. This is completely ubiquitous (on the Web, and in the professions), and it severely undermines both profitability and benefit to the consumer. It is also not an easy problem, but perhaps, by emphasizing it, by strategizing around it, we can, at my company, greatly benefit.

goals

Yes I want to be in charge of and to "own" one of the largest companies in the world, and yes this is because it would presumably make me very rich, and be great for my ego, but it's also because I want to do that kind of good work and provide the kinds of benefits to people that that kind of good work results in.

fundamental constructs

Yes I would like to watch video on the Web for hours and hours a day ... while doing other things. In this regard I think Google Glass makes a ton of sense. (Running power tools? Practice, practice, practice.) (A compact player with a great stand and great batter would also make sense.)

I am having a problem with audio volume on my laptop. Fairly often I can't get enough volume to hear the sound track. This is a blatant design failure and can only be attributed to negligence. Our products should not have such shortcomings.

The beefs go on and on. My video is hanging up right now. I think I would attribute this to having multiple open tabs, but so what? This is engineering stupidity: not incompetence, but a failure to do what should be done. Well, OK, that's a form of incompetence. It doesn't matter! If you aren't up to the job, at least don't claim to be miracle workers.
