this site was largely inspired and created in memory of Bill Green, a dear friend with a love of the possibilities of the Internet, a passion for activism, a commitment to aesthetics and creative expression, a fellow lover of scooters and of life itself.

Bill passed away many years go. I miss him and often think of the lessons he taught me on a multitude of subjects - among them to love design in the everyday things, that creativity comes in many forms, and that the love of others is as important as any product we design or build
