I think a lot about how Feynman got his Nobel Prize from “piddling around with wobbly plates”. I’m always looking for wobbly plates to piddle with. And of course the point isn’t to get the Prize, but to enjoy the piddling https://t.co/FQNTZdChsN

“Ideas come all kinds of ways. I get my best ideas in taxicabs, like sitting in traffic, drooling. I’m allowing my subconscious to take over so that I can free associate. You have to be in a state of play to design. If you’re not in a state of play, you can’t make anything.” https://t.co/mX89V88ll4
