    Nice vid – I'll show you a book I have by a guy called Victor Papanek who predates this by a few decades, but is still just as relevant. Papanek wrote: "Much recent design has satisfied only evanescent wants and desires, while the genuine needs of man have often been neglected by the designer."

    Hey Gary!!

    Yeah, it's been around for centuries.. Da Vinci used nature as a muse for his inventions, it's just recently been given a name though :) Would like to check out that book :)

    I will give you a ring in the next few days. My essays have dried up now and getting a little more free time..

    Interesting piece on the BBC, really loved the idea of highly complex beings (us, well may be not me) learning from really simple life forms really complicated solutions. See the link
