More From Donald Knuth

When we think of design, we usually imagine things that are chosen because they are designed. vases or comic books or architecture... it turns out, though, that most of what we make or design is actually aimed at a public that is there for something else. the design is important, but the design is not the point. call it "public design"... public design is for individuals who have to fill out our tax form, interact with our website or check into our hotel room despite the way it's designed, not because of it.

There were two recording studios in bellingham. one was really expensive, a "nice studio." we were at the point where we were young and irreverent. we would scoff at the idea of a nice studio. "why would you want to go to a nice studio? oh wow, they have really expensive gear. ooh, that's really fancy. well we've got an eight-track. we've got it going on here." now that we have the resources, we're like, "oh wow, a nice studio is pretty nice! they do have nice outboards here. it's actually a pretty good place." it's funny how much changes so quickly.
