We will create heroes. Lean and muscular. Hunters and runners. Farming with their hands. Watering our once barren lands. Faces painted and bodies bare. Woods silent and green. Ghost shadows rarely seen. Like winged spirits flying high. Floating from limb to limb. Digging inside the earth Seeking deep to search The mysteries still unknown. This […]
Our Human Shores

Humans are at the center of design As we can sit here and recline. Life critical systems operate all around. They are hidden out of view and can’t be found. They produce the water we drink. They produce the electricity we use to help think. All prototyped by cross disciplinary teams. Created by engineers, scientists, […]

Notes from Purgatory
While the idea of Logocentric waits in purgatory, we at globatron find it appropriate to publish under the same pseudonym more of his older works. This is not a navel-gazing tribute as much as it is an affirmation that he lived, and an indication that he may now permanently inhabit the circuitry of another dimension–one […]
