GARDEN

Grafting dichotomy
One of Brooke Astor’s famous quotes is, “Money is like manure. It should be spread around.” Whether you’re fertilizing your garden or encouraging a healthier economic foundation for the world, this quote rings true. Otherwise, you’d have a useless pile of resources that nurtures nothing except weeds.

One evening at a friend’s house I overheard a conversation during a poker game. One of the players was stating his view on NASA’s space program. He felt a large sum of funding was sunk into unknown endeavors while we presently have a dire lack of basic health care on this planet. This is true; he made a good point, but to discourage the exploration of outer space would be shortsighted of us. Ideally, we must have a balance between taking care of the here and now, and advancing new discoveries for generations to come.

Garden
Tablet was developed in hopes that we could graft our familiar ground
with the knowledge we gain from the furthest points of outer space. Garden
Tablet is about getting back to Earth.
As current events have recently shown us, we have
a dynamic universe that is constantly being redefined and explored. I
believe the design of Web sites reflects this dynamic energy.
